Helping Others - John Raposo

This video reminded me of my brother, who would stop to help people stuck in the snow every year.

You are always on my mind

The thought of you is never far from my mind. Constantly I see things that remind me of you.  

Love you, John Raposo

Everyday your missed but your energy is here

 

JOHN RAPOSO

 

As everyday passes we are reminded of how much we miss you. 

 

Your energy and charismatic personality that always captivated the attention of everyone in a room is so greatly missed.  Today was such a special day and although you were not here physically you were here in spirt. We will continue to live on in our memories, and through our conversations of how you touched our hearts. Life will never be the same without you.

On the morning of June 22 2012 my brother John Raposo was being laid to rest while the Sicilian Sidewalk Cafe decided to re-open its doors.

Since his murder flowers, candles and notes have been placed near the Sicilian Cafe on College Street as a symbol of love and devotion to my brother. It is said that the soul remains on Earth for forty days after death; the 40th day marks the ascent of the soul into heaven.

According to this it will be July 27 - which we share as a birthday.

To my brother John Raposo who often enjoyed laughing and smiling.

I love you always.
