Today I googled John's name and found that he created a website for his church. I called the number and told her who I was and told her about the forum. I asked her if it would be possible to set up a collection fund there for John's wife and children, she said absolutely.

She explained to me that she has no idea how John's wife and children are going to make it. John's children also go to school at the church and she doesn't know if they are going to be able to afford for the children to stay there.

If you are able to help please send a check or money order made out to Patricia Allo.

Here is the address:

Patricia Allo
Care of Holy Family Church
Attn: Anne Marie Kennedy
403 Union Street
Rockland MA 02370
 
Thank you Carolyn consider it done. Its how the ODJT family rolls in tough situations. John I hope you know we were family.
 
nobody expects to die John most likely got things in good shape but he leaves three kids behind. Certainly could use some extra help. I also would love to have some of the locals have that DJ yard sale in honor of John to raise funds for his kids future. Please help this family folks no matter what he attemped to set up lets help make dreams come true for Johns family. Im going to order the book now to help id its available. We shoud consider having it up for sale at MBLV08 along with the other books they sell there.

Not a bad idea, even if done on the side.
 
The cheque is in an envelope and going in the mail in the morning.

We were planning on buying the book in January but if anyone can give me information on who to contact I'll buy sooner
 
I will buy it to help Johns family and maybe make me buck or two but if not it will be my donation.
 
im local and would be willing to help her sell what she has left for equipment, let me know jon you have my number.
 
Thanks, C. :)

Folks, John was in and out of hospital lately. He had to retire from the DJ biz due to his declining health. The bubble parties provided his family with some income but John eventually had to stop doing those as well. It had gotten to the point where he couldn't work at all.

I am unfamiliar with the family's financial standing but I would wager that it is not great. If you can find it in your hearts (and bank accounts) to help this family in their time of need it will be appreciated more than you can know.
 
Carolyn I posted that info over at DJ Chat I hope you don't mind
 
Chuck, as we all know John was a proud man, I am sure that he didn't want to make us aware of their financial situation. Also there will no longer be an income from him. Christmas is right around the corner, I am hoping that there will be enough money from this so John's family can have a nice Christmas. It will be difficult enough having just lost their father and husband. According to the woman I spoke to at Holy Family Church, she doesn't know how his wife and children are going to make it after this loss of income. Not to mention that funerals are very expensive. I am hoping that Patricia is able to keep them in the same school, it will be difficult for them losing their Dad and then the change of schools too.

Jeff, Of course I don't mind. I thought about that this morning. It would be nice if we could post it at all the DJ sites. Thank you for posting it at DJ chat.

Sure. I just made mention of what I did. Thanks for doing what you are doing.
 
Colleagues : I will attending John's funeral Mass tomorrow morning. During the time, I hope to speak with Mrs. Allo as well as the Church School Administrators in an effort to determine the best possible way to channel whatever donations which will be contributed by the huge outpouring of love and concern for John's family in the best possible beneficial way.

Even during this most tragic and emotional time, a clear level headed approach to the future of his children needs to be addressed.

Not knowing John at all while so many of our brother and sister DJs did (and are really hurting right now), I wish to be there giving them, the friends and survivors, whatever support possible in this awful time. Perhaps, with your permission, I might be the best suited for such face-to-face discovery of family need and financial channeling.

Regardless, I will report back Thursday evening or Friday morning for any who wish to standby for a day or two.
