wonder if he stole like modzelewski's does in danbury? the cops must be in on it because he's been doing it forever.

Shame on you. You must be a very bitter individual.

I wonder if it was random or somebody with a grudge. Either way, pretty messed up.

First of all, for all of those who posted comments earlier, we knew John. This was NOT Mob related, he was NOT "into" anything and he didn't "steal" cars! He was a hard-working good guy who ran a good business.
As the wife of a tow truck driver, who works day and night cleaning up accidents to make YOUR roads safer, I must say that you would THINK that some of you would have some decency. Save your inappropraite remarks for the privacy of your homes.
Our prayers go out to John's family. We hope and pray that the person or persons responsible for his death are brought to a quick justice. We are so sorry for your loss.
And to all of the tow truck drivers out there, THANK YOU. Thank you for risking your lives everyday on the side of highways and roads. Thank you for keeping our roadways clear, getting drivers safetly off of the shoulder. You are ALL in our prayers.

Tow truck drivers "risking their lives" everyday on the side of the road is kind of overkill. I think we should save the praise for those that ACTUALLY DO risk their lives for us everyday.

I too knew john a little, my family and I have used him for years for any towing we needed, always a very friendly guy and I agree with NY-J there is no way this has anything to do with the mob. I think it might be an angry pschyco that maybe had his car towed from somewhere for parking in a no parking spot or something so stupid like that, and john happen to be the one who was called to tow it and the person took his anger out on him. I'm sure the authorities are looking into that, I would hope. I'm sorry to hear this news its a terrible thing.

There is alot more to this story; wait for it.

YOU stand on the side of the thruway while tractor trailers go by you at 70 MPH and THEN tell me they don't risk their lives. YOU drop the drive train in a truck and manage not to get crushed to death and tell me they don't risk thier lives. YOU go to clean up an accident involving a car fire. YOU go jump into flood waters to pull out a mini van. YOU hook up a car on the side of the freeway and pray no one hits it, pinning you between the truck and the car, possibly cutting you in half. Go ahead, give it a try.
ALOT of people risk thier lives. I am aware of that and I DO give them the praise that they deserve.
I'm just tried of people thinking that tow truck operators only do impounds and repos and they forget about the tractor trailer roll overs and accidents. It's not overkill, it'e REALITY. Research it before you talk down to someone who knows more about it.

Oh, and by the way, if the dangers of auto-recovery aren't enough for you, John was a volunteer firefighter too. He was the kind of person who went out of his way to help others.
I need to say something semi-unrelated because I feel it needs to be said.
Blue collar workers,whether they be the construction worker risking a fall from hieghts to build your house, the utility company employee who works with thousands of volts of electricity so you can have power, or the tow truck driver changing your tire on the side of the highway so you can get home to your family, all take great risks to make your lives easier. It is time for people to understand that it isn't just the police man, the EMT, the soldier and the firefighter who work everyday to make our lives easier and safer. They aren't the only ones who take risks, and they aren't the only ones who can be everday heros. And without these people, think of how little you would have. think of all of the work you would have to do yourself.
You are on the computer, Google the FACTS about these jobs. Show some appreciation.
A man has died, and you seem to have nothing better to do but to talk badly about his profession and speculate about his character. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

i think everyone here should just stop being stupid and realize that a great man has been murdered. he helped out me personally, and many people that i know. it doesnt matter what he does, or what anyone else does. he was a good man with a family, and thats all that counts. i hope everyone here wishes luck to his family, and wishes luck to the police to find the a$$hole who did that to him. Because i cant wait to see that person behind bars.

John's dad was one of my dads best friend,I was so shocked when I heard the news. Had to tell mom when she woke up. We looked up John when my dad died in 2006 and found he passed in 2000. But me and mom talked to John the son, what a nice man for someone who never met us, his dad had told him stories about my mom and dad but we never met. He was just like his dad so kind, would help anyone out . Went back to the pics. with mom pics dating back to 1942. My dad and John on there motorcycles. Dad had such fond memories of those days. I have been praying for the family, I am so sorry for your loss. Also am praying the police get some help to catch this person who did this.

John the father may have had a zz top beard after we were no longer in contact, I don't know. But in the pic of John Marcinak the son he looks alot like his dad, just a little fuller face, Johns dad was a very thin guy.
What a shame. I think John knew who did this to him.
How did you know them?

I have a cousin who is a bum and risks his life everyday eating used food out of dumpsters, keeping all of us safe from dangerous smelly garbage.
Oh and by the way he used to drive a tow truck but says this is much more dangerous work and much more heroic.

I would like to say maybe he was hardworking man i don't know him but i do know the police think it's drug related so to say he wasn't into anything is a lie and if you are gonna say anything maybe you should shut your mouth.

I'm sorry i did not know this man i feel sorry for the family and everybody that is affected by this.
