Dear Kathy,
Our deepest condolences to you and your family on the loss of your dear John. John was a kind and gentle soul, and his memory will always be a blessing. Conversations were never boring.

Deepest condolences to you Kath, Mary Grace, little John and John's whole extended family and friends. Thank you, God, for sharing John with us- an example, a light and a joy to be with always. Love, Val & Brian. xxoo

John was a very positive and helpful; and a great humanitarian. Even when was very ill, he was so inspiring ; always eager to resolve social and economic justice issues.

Our condolences to Kathy and the kids. And grandkids. John was truly an inspiration to those who crossed his life. While we always said “we’ll get together soon” and missed, I will bring his memory forward and think a an appropriate send off tune - “On the road again” - I can still see him leading a group of friends, coworkers and business owners to this day. RIP with love from our family to yours
