In 1972, during the Boston school busing crisis, he began a 26- year relationship with the Boston Police Patrolman’s Association as Public Relations Director, where he transformed the Association’s Pax Centurion newsletter into an infl uential newspaper. During this period, he also started newspapers for state police minority of- fi cers associations in Massachusetts and Connecticut, and served as Editor and Publisher of the Labor Action News and the Judicial Forum, and special correspondent for Boston’s Post-Gazette, New England’s oldest Italian-American newspaper. J.J. served his alma mater, Boston University, in a variety of roles, including president of the B.U. Varsity Club, vice president of the B.U. Alumni Association, and founder of the B.U. Club of Back Bay. J.J. had a great and varied career, and cherished the fact that he loved his work and had fun doing it. He traveled to East Berlin and China when both countries had severe travel restrictions under Communist rule. He met presidents, senators, governors, ambassadors, business giants and entertainers. But his greatest love and proudest achievement was being a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He so loved his wife, children, and grand- children, and they so adored him. He was, and will always be, a central part of his family. J.J. was a big fan of all the Boston sports teams, and especially of BU hockey. Nothing pleased him more than a BU win over BC!
