“Going back about 20 years, one day I walk into the gym and this guy says to me, “man you never smile, I’m not saying you look mean it’s really stone like with absolutely no expression. Smile man, it ain’t that bad.” So from that point forward whenever I would see him he would say, “Hey Stoneface how are you?” His name was Manny Catalano who became one of my best friends. Unfortunately Manny passed away in 2005 but I can still hear his laugh and the great memories will live on forever. I’m sure he’s up in Heaven now telling God a funny joke. I really miss Manny. Over the course of time the nickname just stuck.” John J. Quinlan aka Stoneface Tattoo by artist Jon Saulnier
