I am so sorry for your loss. John was more than a neighbor to us—he was a dear friend for over 30 years. We shared so much of life together, especially raising our children side by side, and those memories will always mean so much to us. Even while he was facing his illness, John never stopped caring for others. I will always remember how he would still pick up the phone and be there to help—that was just who he was. His kindness and warmth made our neighborhood a better place, and he will be deeply missed. With heartfelt sympathy, Dave and Jigna Patel

We are neighbors of the Filipowicz family and first came to know John and Bonnie through their son, Ryan. In those early days after we moved here, Ryan was about 13 years old, and we quickly recognized what a respectful and impressive young man he was. Through his love of baseball, Ryan became something of a big brother to our son, Julian. It was clear to us that Ryan was raised with strong values, and his example played a meaningful role in our decision to more closely consider – and ultimately have Julian attend – Holy Ghost Prep. As the years passed and the kids grew up, I had the opportunity to get to know John and Bonnie much better. John and I developed a genuine friendship. Every few months, we would meet – most often at Millie’s in Yardley Borough – for breakfast, where we talked about work, family, and life. In the early days of my consulting business, John was also part of our team and provided invaluable support. Through the many work stories he shared, his empathy for others and his strong, principled convictions were always evident. I will deeply miss John – seeing him on his walks as I drove by, and especially our conversations and shared stories over breakfast at Millie’s.

John was kind, caring and considerate. He was warm and welcoming and always took the extra steps to help others.He could laugh at himself and had a dry wit. He loved to talk about Bonnie and Ryan and how important they were to him. He is and will be missed and may his memory be a blessing to his family. Asher Gaffney

John lived his life by the Golden Rule, treating everyone as he wanted to be treated. I will truly miss the glint in his eye when he said something that caught me off guard and made me laugh out loud. John was a loyal friend who always had your back. He was the best pickle ball partner. I am happy to have known him and sad that he left us so early. What a man! Kevin E

John was a true Gentleman and a credit to his profession and family. He will live long in the memory of those he touched and graced with his time. He made sure, as a Brit, I was treated like one of his own team members. It was a pleasure to work with him. Rest in peace.

I could say so much about such a close friend for the past 30 plus years. I'll just summarize it by saying, of all the many people I've met, professionally and personally, John was one of the finest human beings you could ever know. And a great father and husband. If ever anyone deserves to be in heaven, it's him. Rest in peace.

I'm so glad I met John on NJT commuting to Manhattan quite a few years ago. Ever since, I've been enjoying John and Bonnie at the Saturday 5:15 mass @ St. Ignatius. John was one in a million. He will be sorely missed. Rest in peace my friend. Jackie

John had a way of brightening any court he stepped onto including a courtroom or the pickleball court. I met him through pickleball, but it didn’t take long to realize he was so much more than a great player. He was sharp, genuinely funny, and carried a sense of humor that made people feel instantly at ease. What stood out even more was how deeply he loved his family. You could see it in the way he talked about Bonnie, in the pride in his voice when he mentioned his son, and in the quiet warmth he carried with him. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, and the kind of friend who made life lighter just by being there. I will always remember John’s smile — that easy, joyful grin — and the way he could make a whole group laugh without even trying. It’s those moments, those small flashes of kindness and humor, that stay with me. He will be missed, but he’ll also be carried forward in every story, every laugh, and every memory he left behind.

My heart is broken! He was my mentor and most importantly my friend. If you want to know what honorable meant was to know John. I met John while he was working his 1st job as an attorney and I was a recent college kid trying to find my way. He guided and supported me as I went through the law school application process. When I was down he was there to push me along. John’s friendship, kindness, and support are reflected in his wonderful wife Bonnie. They are the type of people you thank god come into your life. John, your smile, kindness, support handshake, not suffering fools gladly and treating people the way you would want to be treated are traits you shared with so very many, I am humbled and forever thankful for having the privilege and honor to know you! Although, I will miss you, I will honor you by trying to live up to the honorable man that you represented. Love to Bonnie and Ryan from Joe and Elsie

John and I started as neighbors in 1999. As the years passed we became fast friends. We found that we had much in common as our boys were of the same age. John and I loved sports, politics, and we were both businessman. We very much enjoyed dining together with our spouses. John and Bonnie taught me how to play pickleball and the game was a passion for the three of us. After moving to Florida in 2019 John and I grew even closer. We would solve all the worlds problems as well as providing mutual support in our daily telephone chats. John was a perfectionist, a man to be admired for his principles in which he always remained steadfast. John was extremely intelligent with a rapier sense of humor. Often, to my chagrin, his correct predictions regarding all subjects was uncanny. I am forever grateful for his friendship. He was one of a kind, and I will miss him.

John was my beloved friend, law school roommate and my “adopted” little brother. After graduating law school, although we lived far apart, we grew closer, especially after he met and married his beloved Bonnie. And when Ryan came along, I couldn’t wait to go and watch him pitch for his baseball teams, and join with John and Bonnie cheering him on. We all are devastated by John’s illness and his passing. I will love him always! -Tony Hatab

I can't begin to capture all that John meant to me. John was one of the most supportive, honest, ethical people I know. In a vocation that would make most people hard, John always maintained integrity and humbleness. I never heard a negative comment about John. And through it all, he always spoke so lovingly of his wife Bonnie and son Ryan. John, you impacted and influenced so many people in your lifetime and I am so grateful for your friendship, support, encouragement, and humor during the difficult times. You have no idea how much I will miss your friendship. Rest easy until we meet again.

I remember John as strong, smart, intelligent gentleman. He could also joke around with the rest of us (Phil, Steven, & Susan). He cherished his friends and loved his family. He will be dearly missed.

I met John in the mid 1990’s when I worked with him in NJ. He was a kind, witty man who loved his family and always talked about his love for Bonnie and Ryan and how proud he was of both of them. He fought this battle with such dignity. My hope for Bonnie and Ryan is that they can cherish wonderful memories of John and know that he’s no longer suffering. “I request” that you rest easy, John!
