Rest in Peace John Scalora. You and your wife Veronica changed my life forever. Back when I was 17 nobody took me seriously when I said I wanted to buy a house. Realtors and banks pretty much just laughed at me. But for some reason your wife who was a realtor decided to help me. She showed me houses every week for almost 2 years straight. And even though you didn't have to be there, you always came along. You came along because you loved her so much and always wanted to be by her side. I remember the day we went to see an abandoned house and you kicked the door down just so I could get in and see inside. The both of you did everything for me and I'll never forget that. After 2 years of looking and figuring everything out, I finally got the keys to my first house. I was so excited to finish moving so I could invite you and your wife over for dinner, but I guess I wasn't fast enough. Veronica died 2 weeks after I moved in so I never got to properly thank her for everything she did. I couldn't go to her funeral because I was away training for work, but I wish I could have went. I have a lot to say about her. Anyways, about a year after she died, you called my cell phone because you said you were going through her old phone. You were crying and told me you felt alone so I started to cry because I felt so bad. You guys were married over 40 years, I couldn't imagine how you felt. I wanted to meet up with you one day and talk, but there was really nothing I could say. I'm sorry that you had to go through that and I'm sorry that I never reached out to you either. Life is just so crazy, you never know what's going to happen. Just a few minutes ago I found out that you passed away and I couldn't believe it. The last time I saw either of you was at the closing for the house, sometimes we get so busy with nonsense that we forget to spend time with people we care about. I'm writing this for your obituary, I think everyone should know the type of people you and your wife were. You guys didn't just help people find houses for the money, you did it because you enjoyed it. That's the truth, I could tell it was never about the money. You both taught me a lot. I'm thankful to have met you both, without you my life would be completely different. In 3 weeks I'll be getting the keys to my third house and it's all because of what you guys did for me in the beginning. You guys taught me that ANYTHING is possible. With the right people in your life, you can do anything. I still don't know why you both agreed to help me but it's something I'll never forget. Although I'm not religious, I know the two of you will watch over me. You'll continue to help me the same way you once did. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything. Rest in Peace Veronica & John Scalora
