There is not a time that I thank God for John. He was the toughest lawyer I have ever know. John taught me so much about the law and real estate law. I would go into the office or the lions den. Many of time I was mauled and bleeding. However, he taught me. Fixed my mistakes. He even wrote my lease ,which I use to this day. I knew when I left his office. I might be one arm short. I miss John even today. Years later. I cant find anyone to replace his devotion and tenancy. A Tiger in the court. So after all these years. John rest in peace
I miss you.
THIS NICK VERRO, I WAS JOHN'S ROOMATE AT MANLIUS MILTARY SCHOOL FROM 1960 TO 1961. WE WERE ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM TOGETHER AND GOOD FRIENDS. I DIDN'T FIND OUT THAT HE PASSED UNTIL I READ MY ALUMNI MAGAZINE. I SAW JOHN AT THE REUNION LAST WHEN OUR BAND PLAYED THERE. THAT WAS TWO YEARS AGO. WE HAD A GOOD TALK ABOUT THE OLD DAYS. I WAS SURPRISED HE PASSED. WHAT HAPPENED?? CAN YOU GIVE ME SOMEONE I CAN SEND A SYMPATHY CARD TO OR SEND MY RESPECTS.HE WILL SURELY BE MISSED. HE WAS A GREAT PERSON. I STILL HAVE ALL THE MEMORIES WHEN WERE YOUNG MEN. REST IN PEACE MY FRIED, JOHN
The the family of the late John D. Covino: We have just returned from a winter in Florida only to learn of the sudden passing of John. He was a fine man, a good lawyer and a dear friend. He will indeed be missed by all of the community but certainly and most of all by his many lawyer friends. May we offer our most sincere sympathies and condolences. George and Laraine Mahshie
To the family of John Covino,
Please except my deepest sympathy for the untimely passing of your beloved John.
John was my attorney for several years when I was actively selling real estate. He was always there to give good solid advise. Their was something stern and fatherly about him that made you know you were in good hands. I am glad he had a chance to enjoy Florida and his golfing before God called him home.......again I am very sorry. Carol Bass
I had worked "with" John in City Court, Syracuse for many years. While we were always on the other side (I represented tenants), and found he was a man of his word. Often, as soon as he saw me in court he would ask what my settlement proposal was, or, what did I "need". and he would "see" what he could do. He will be missed; I was luck to have known hime.

I so enjoyed meeting John at his 50th reunion from The Manlius School last June. He will be missed by his class and all of us here at Manlius Pebble Hill School. My sympathy to his family.

May his memory be eternal. I enjoyed working with him and always found his wit and character to be the most enjoyable part of closing a real estate transaction with John. My sincere condolences to the family.

John was truly a gentleman and a very seasoned practitioner. I enjoyed working with him. His varied interest made it very enjoyable to work with him on a real estate case. La benedizione del Signore. George Alessio
John you will be truly missed. I recall the golf games we played at Lake Shore, the trips we took to play many different courses. Your college friendship with Vice President Biden which you always talked about prior to his election. You were a true friend, and an honorable person.
