John was struck while performing his duties protecting children in Merrick on February 26,2026. Sadly, John has passed away from his injuries.

Crossing Guards serve our communities with courage and dedication.  They dedicate themselves to standing in the roadway to protect our children and residents. John has answered that call of service always with a smile and a kind word.  His commitment will never be forgotten.

God Bless John and his family at this very difficult time.

May he rest in eternal peace.
