John Gentis Obituary

Our Deepest sympathy to the Gentis Family.You are in our thoughts & prayers. May he rest in peace & remain in your hearts forever. Sincerely, Trent & Joanne Conelias

Devoted Man to Family and Work and Faith. He was a special guest of us all. The Mayflower, John behind the grill and his wife and children by his side, smiling and spinning, grill to register, with time for kind words; that was "John" and the memory we and Bethlehem are much better for having. Thank You and may God grant the rest of the Gentis family, strength and peace, to bear with this.

To the Gentis family,
So sorry for the loss of your dad. He was a great person and loved all of you very deeply. Just remember the good times and he'll live on forever in your heart, mind and souls. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sincerely,
Spyros Manessis & Family

To the Gentis Family....
Words cannot describe how we feel about your loss. John was a very devoted, kind, loving, and unselfish person. We watched the kids grow....and Oh how proud he was of them. The past 3 years...He made a point of walking by our place and stopping in when he knew we were home. He will be sadly missed.
There was a verse sent to me ten years ago, when my father passed away, that I would like to share with you. "We can't know why sad things happen....we can only know that, in time, the pain will go away...and in its place, the beautiful and special memories, the keepsakes of the heart, will always remain." I hope you can find comfort in these words, as I did.
Our Sympathy, thoughts, and prayers are with all of you. John was an outstanding person.

It was with great saddness that I read today of John's passing. My husband, son and I enjoyed the great breakfasts at the Mayflower for many years. When we first started coming my son was an infant and we would put his carrier on the table as we ate. Over the years John would always comment on how he was growing, he is now 18. We also enjoyed watching his children grow from youngsters to successful adults. Our deepest sympathy to his wife, sons and daughter. He will be missed.

Dear; Gentis family,
I had many conversation's with John about his life, and his family, while he worked the grill. He was a very proud man. I'm very sorry for your loss.

We have known the Gentis family for many years and we are so very saddened to hear of John's passing. He was always a pleasant, gentle man. I worked for Feesers Foods and called on the Mayflower. John was always pleasant and we enjoyed our time together. He will be missed terribly.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss.Our thoughts are with you at this time of sorrow and grief. les and ron grossman

We are very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time.

We will always remember going into the Mayflower Restaurant and seeing Mr. Gentis in the back cooking. He was a really good friend. May his memory be eternal. Stephen C Panaretos and Barb Panaretos

Maria and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
Our deepest Sympathy,

We are so deeply upset. Our naive optimism kept us from thinking this time would come. Our time with John was to limited in recent years. Reflecting on better times, we will remember John's smile, contagious humor and love for family, friends and life. Rest loved one. You will be remembered.

We are all so sorry to hear of John's Passing! Our very deepest sympathy to your entire family! My Father was an "early" Steel customer for many many years. As years passed my entire family grew to Love "John's" breakfast & cheesesteaks. Especially our daughter Kelsey. She was practically raised there and so enjoyed the company of all the regular customers~!

John was an example of strength to all of us. I will alwas remember is wisdom and kind words. He loved life and I am sure is in a much better place now, watching over us. The entire Gentis family is an example of the christian love that we all need today. My sympathy to the entire family. We love you.
