Dear Susan and Joan, I couldn't believe that such a wonderful young man as John would be called by God so soon. I remember when he was just working for me in his highschool years. Susan, I can relate to how you feel as I went through this less than two years ago. God will help you to go on. John will never be forgotten.

When I learned of John’s unexpected death, I felt deeply for his wife, children, family, friends and co-workers. John was a classmate of mine at Fort Kent Community High School. All of us would describe John as a very smart and extremely kind person. After John went off to Northeastern University, he always made a point of coming back for reunions. He introduced us to his wonderful wife and told us about a job that he loved and valued. We all believe that John was truly happy and enjoyed his life. We will miss him.
