To John's family:
When I read about John I was in shock. A smile did finally come across my face when I thought about the time we had when we lived together in 1971 & 72. My prayers & thoughts will be his family, especially his mother who treated me like one of her own when I was hospitlized under her care.

Dearest Rhonda:
I am so sorry to hear about John. I never saw him without a big smile on his face. I can only hope he is with Deidre and Arden, playing golf and having fun on the most beautiful golf course we can imagine. We love you, Rhonda.

Rhonda, my heart and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. John was a special person to me and will be greatly missed! Working with John at Graham's was something else. I could always count on him for work, advise or a good laugh!

Uncle John,
I miss you more than words can say. I promise to take good care of Aunt Rhonda for you. Please know you've taught me so much more than any college course ever did. Not just about business but about life. As I start my marriage I will draw wisdom from yours. You guys are an amazing example of what it takes to be each others partner in life. I know you are enjoying heaven and Im happy finally made it to goal we all strive for. "For I press on toward the goal that Christ Jesus has laid out for me". I love you.
Your Baby Girl, Princess, and Panda

I had the pleasure to meet John and work with him and for him in 1978 at The Other Place. John was an outstanding boss and a great person. He will be sorely missed.

I miss you so much!!!!! Who can I argue with now? No more "Republican" emails to taunt me with. You will always be in my heart and mind as my little brother. Be at peace or at least on the golf course.
Love forever, Barbara
