I worked with John at the Lakeview Shock Correctional Facility.  He was a genuine man.  Rest in peace, my dear friend🙏🏽

John was dedicated to his work as a Drill Instructor in the Lakeview Shock Incarceration program with the NYS Dept. of Corrections.  That’s where I met him as a coworker.  He changed many young people’s lives.  He will be missed.  His love is in our hearts 💕 forever!  Thank you for your service, John!  Rest in Peace 🙏🏽🌻

I first met John when he came forward to join the Cardinal O'Hara Booster Club along with his father.  John was a valued member of the Club and we were sorry to see him have to leave the organization.  I join with all my fellow members of the Club to offer our most sincerest condolences on John's passing.  He rests in peace now.  I ask the Father to bless all the members of his family the all of the peace and comfort needed at this time an into the future.  May John rest in peace and may the Lord's perpetual light shine upon him now and forever.  Rest in Peace John.

I worked with John, “DI Nowak” at Lakeview Shock Facility for many years.  He worked with the female Platoons in G bldg.  He was a “SMART” officer,  very dedicated to his work and others.  All the counselors I supervised loved working with him.  John was also on the EAP Committee  with me at Lakeview.  He was a guy who people went to because he was honest and trustworthy.  He will be missed!  My prayers go out to his family & friends!  “Rest in Peace” John! 🌹🙏🏽
