John was a cherished friend of mine in Boston. He was a great role model for me when I was younger and I will miss him.

John's "joire de vive" was an inspiration to all of us whose lives were touched by his great friendship, keen sense of style and embrace of the great adventure of living to the fullest!

We raise a glass in a toast to John...well done!
