John was my insurance agent for the last 10 years. He was always very helpful. He was caring and compassionate and a pleasure to associate with. I'm sure he will be missed by many people. My sympathy to the family.

John was a colleague and a friend with a wonderful humanity and also a great sense of humor. He will be missed also as a true professional in a business that has too few of them.
