Rectal Cancer stole John from us on October 9, 2023,
he was 42 years young.
John was a force to be reckoned with. He embodied the true meaning of hard work dedication.
He was a complete savage.
John loved his family fiercely and made sure they never
wanted for anything. They lived every day laughing and filled with love.
He was everything. The funniest, the goofiest, THE BEST STORY TELLER. You could not be near him without laughing.
Our Mission
John was a dedicated HVAC professional who spent almost a decade working in his co-op job before becoming a teacher at Medford Technical High School. During this time, he pursued his dream of starting his own business, SWAT HVAC, which he ran and grew with
the help of his eldest son Anthony.
As a 1999 Shawsheen Tech ACR graduate, John was always passionate about helping young people get into the HVAC trade. He was always willing to hire and train co-op students.

In his memory, we are committed to giving back to vocational students through our fundraising efforts, providing unique opportunities for those who are often
ineligible for the currently available, standard, high school scholarships.
This funding will allow us to grant Graduating Vocational Students:
-The opportunity to pay for required licensing fees and non-degree classes.
- Tool kits to help graduates transition smoothly into the workforce and equip them to hit the ground running--paving the way for a professional jumpstart to excel at their chosen trade.
-Assistance purchasing safety equipment, uniforms, footwear, or gear required on a job site.
We thank you for your interest and assistance supporting these students and helping
them achieve their professional goals.
