To John's family:
I met John at Our Lady of Lourdes several years ago before becoming an ASL student at JSRCC. He was one of the friends that I met while attending OLL which led me on the journey of learning ASL. I will miss him and always remember him as one of the reasons that I began my journey. He was always so nice to me and I always enjoyed his stories. I am glad he is with our heavenly Father and is now completely healed. My blessings to John's family for this kind man.

I knew John while living in Richmond. He always had a big smile and was a pleasant guy to talk to. He will be greatly missed by his many friends in the deaf community.
