El pastor Jhon ,fue una  persona que marco mi vida espiritual.
La forma en que Dios lo usaba  y la autoridad con la que predicaba lá palabra, habla de alguien que simplesmente tiene una profunda intimidad con Dios.
La manera como nos recibió en su iglesia y la  humildad de corazón de alguien tan grande.
Me alegra saber que, combatiste un buen combate, acabaste la carrera y guardaste tu fé.
Descansa en paz pastor Jhon!

Oh my goodness, John went to be with Jesus 7 mos ago and I just found out!  I was his secretary at TBN for years, but I also felt he was a good friend. I have a special place in my heart for the Casorias; such wonderful, loving,  genuine people. I will cherish memories of John and Dottie forever!  So sorry John has left us but I know we' ll see him soon.  Love to Dottie, Joel and Johnny!

I got to know John because my parents were good friends with his Father in Law, Dr Bethany. I grew up having dinners at their home and I remember playing with his son, Joel as a child. I severed under John as youth pastor and assistant when he started Bethany Christian Center in Loganville Ga. I learned so much from him while I was at the Church. He was a wonderful pastor, friend and mentor. He married my wife and myself in his home and Dotti prepared a wonderful Italian dinner for us and my family. He will truly be missed and I loved him like a second father.

So sorry to hear of this loss he was my pastor many years ago in San Marcos Ca always loved and thought of him and Dotti

The love of God in Pastor John was so evident as he made each of us feel so special at TBN when in his presence. I believe that smile on his face welcomed the angel that carried him to Jesus. Will miss him so much

Dear Dotti and Casoria family, May the love, peace and mercy of our Lord Jesus surround you during this season of loss.  Lean on Him.  He will hold you steady.  I was privileged to work with John as his secretary and assistant for several years at TBN in CA.  He was the best boss I ever had.  Ron and I have many fond memories of times shared with the Casorias.  We send our love and prayers.  Judy and Ron Alsop

Pastor John was a wonderful Godly Man. His shepherds heart enabled him to love God's people and make everyone feel Special. I will always remember Him for the kindness he has shown me. I LOVE Pastor John even now and look forward to seeing him again at the marriage supper of the Lamb. May the peace and comfort that comes from the presence of God surround you Dotti, John, Joel, Joanie and all of the family members who loved him and whom he loved. I thank My God in remembrance of him. Rest in peace Pastor John. Your secretary, Carolyn Smith

May the love of Jesus Christ surround the
Casoria family with His peace.

To the Casoria family: I am so very sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.

Jesus, lover of my soul,
   Let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
   While the tempest still is high!
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
   Till the storm of life be past;
Safe into the haven guide,
   Oh, receive my soul at last!

Other refuge have I none,
   Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, ah! leave me not alone,
   Still support and comfort me!
All my trust on Thee is stayed,
   All my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenseless head
   With the shadow of Thy wing.

Wilt Thou not regard my call?
   Wilt Thou not accept my prayer?
Lo! I sink, I faint, I fall
   Lo! on Thee I cast my care:
Reach me out Thy gracious hand!
   While I of Thy strength receive,
Hoping against hope I stand,
   Dying, and, behold, I live!

Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
   More than all in Thee I find:
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
   Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is Thy name;
   I am all unrighteousness:
False and full of sin I am;
   Thou art full of truth and grace.

Plenteous grace with Thee is found,
   Grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound,
   Make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art
   Freely let me take of Thee:
Spring Thou up within my heart,
   Rise to all eternity!

Grace and peace to the Casoria family. Dr. John Casoria was a blessing to my life. It was such a pleasure to be in his presence. Sis. Dotti know that you all are in our prayers and on behalf my family and church we send our heartfelt condolences.

PASTOR JOHNS FAVORITE SONG WAS "I'LL FLY AWAY".  HE TOLD ME, HE LOOKED FORWARD TO THE FULFILLMENT OF ALL THE PROMISES THAT ARE IN THE WORD, WHEN WE ARE IN HIS PRESENCE. I LOVED OUR TALKS.

We have lost a dear and precious friend.  John and Dotti are a part of our spiritual family and we know we will all be together again soon.  We lost a wonderful friend, but heaven just gained the greatest Italian cook that ever lived.  We will truly miss you, John. All our love,Jay and Maralee

My life and family was forever changed because of the love that Pastor John had for God and people. I cherish those memories of our time at Bethany Christian Center in his congregation. We love you Ms. Dottie and are praying for you and your family.

No matter the circumstance, no matter the trials in life. No matter where the journey called life has taken us Pastor,  Papa, Spiritual Father and leader are just a few of the titles for this beautiful man. I will FOREVER be greatful to what he planted in my life, heart and family. Sincere condolences to each of you.  You all hold a large piece of my heart!!

I was so sorry to hear of Pastor John's passing.  He was not only our spiritual leader but also a great friend.  Larry & I missed Bethany and our great church family.  Larry went home to be with the Lord Aug. 2014.  I'm sure he was glad to see Pastor again.  Dotti, John, Joel and family, my church and I are praying for the peace and comfort only our Lord can give you.  Love you.

I know your struggle has been difficult but he is no in a better, more glorious place.  May God's peace be with you.  I love you. Barbara Dailey Curtis

Mrs. Dorothy Casoria and family I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dear husband, father, and grandfather. Although this may be a difficult time for you please know that God is close to you and can heal your broken hearts. (Psalm 147:3)

My sincere condolences go out to the Casoria family and close friends. May the hope found in Gods' word out weigh the grief you feel. 1 Thessalonians 4:13,14

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

We bless you Lord for your Holy Spirit's loving overflow through the heart and spirit of "Papa" John Casoria's loving prayers for all of us who needed Jesus' Living Word within us.  The Holy Spirit used a time of teaching and preaching for the breath of God to be spoken by John Casoria into the souls of those ready to see and hear. Living out the importance of God and Family, John Casoria openly expressed his three loves, God-favored parents, a wife that indeed he adored, and proud of sons who feared God alone. In Jesus alone, we do share the living thread of eternal life that one day we too may enjoy with John Casoria. Until then we pray that the comfort of our Lord of Hosts be in you Dottie, Joel, and John and family. ||

Pastor John left such an impact on my life. He and his entire family mean so much to me! I know he's rejoicing and has been made whole! I'm celebrating his life and his love for God! We love you Ms. Dottie,and family, very much! See you again (soon) Pastor John!

I know Pastor John is singing and dancing in heaven. He loved the Lord and taught me so much. God bless Mrs. Dottie and the rest of the family durning this time.

Thank you for all that you did for me. Thank you for all that God did through you. All that I learned from you. I will see you again soon. I love you Pastor John.

I thought of Pastor John as my second father. My love and admiration for him runs deep. It was such an honor to serve under him at Bethany Christian Center. He spoke so many encouraging words to David and I and they always came from his heart. He has crossed over into glory and now I have another reason to want to get to heaven soon. Dotti, Joel, and Johnny I pray the Holy Spirit will do what He does best and be The Comforter to you through this. Love the Casoria family with all of my heart.

So sad to lose such a great man of God. I learned a great deal sitting in his congregation. My family will miss him. We are praying for Ms.Dottie and the extended family.

What a great reunion is happening in Glory. I love you. Karen Wooster Miley

We love you and will miss you. I know my mother is rejoicing now.

So sad to hear of his passing as a young girl he showed me what loving God was truly about. I will never forget his love and compassion and I'm sure he dancing in heaven.

Pastor John is up there in Heaven looking down on us, and singing "I'll fly away" and dancing. So grateful to have had a shepherd that cared so much for his flock. You are still greatly respected, and will be missed. Much love to his family.

We love our Pastor John and will miss him until our time for Heaven. All our prayers are with Miss Dottie and family.
Love - Jo & John Stubblefield
