BROTHER JOHN, WAS A DELIGHT FOR ALL PERSON ASSOCIATED WITH THE SENIORS PROGRAM @ WASHINGTON HEIGHTS.
BROTHER JOHN SET EXAMPLES FOR MEN AND WOMEN TO LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT THINGS YOU CAN'T CHANGE.
THE MOST MEMORABLE FUN ACTIVITIES WERE OUR BUS TRIP TO GERALD FORD CENTER AND JOHN PLAYING WITH A HUGE SURF BASKETBALL AND MAKING A BASKET AFTER TWO TRIES. I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH THAT SMILE.
THERE IS NO CONCERN WITH HIS PEACE WITH JESUS CHRIST. TO THE FAMILY LIVE YOUR LIVES SO THAT YOU WILL SEE HIM SMILING WITH JESUS AROUND THE THRONE OF GOD.
PEACE AND BLESSINGS,
PASTOR JAMES A. RICHIE
FORMER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Mr. John was a fixture of the Senior Program at Washington Heights Community Ministries. It made my day to see him arrive each morning and throw up his hand and wave. He enjoyed taking part in the program, but what he seemed to love most was helping out - getting ice water, pouring coffee or serving the other seniors - it didn't matter as long as he was helping. Even on days when he had to use a cane or walker, he was still trying to help in some way. I know he also enjoyed the special events and field trips where he got to dress up. I always made a point of telling him how "sharp" he was, and he'd flash the biggest smile! He was a kind, humble, Christian man, and I hope his family can find comfort in their memories of him and the life he lived. May he rest in peace.

When I think of Papa John, I think of John 14: 1-6. Starting with, "Let not your heart be troubled". I remember a couple years ago Papa John took ill and ended up in critical care and God spared his life. Papa John showed himself faithful by stepping right back into the service of the King at Holy Light. Today his faithfulness is rewarded as his Faith has become sight!! To God alone be the glory for the example Papa John gave us through his life, even his faithfulness unto death.
