Remembering riding with John in the back of a small Datsun pickup truck. We were going on the road to the sun across Glacier National Park. It was august but the snow had already fallen and we we cold. I will leave out some details but those people who know the story will get a chuckle at the way things were back then. Gone but not forgotten.

I'm so sorry to see that John has passed on. He was a tremendous help to me when I was a young teenager and he was operating The Village Tree. I can't begin to express my sorrow to the family.

John was a truly wonderful person. Not only did he give to the entire community but he was wonderful as a board member and supporter of Olde Towne Medical Center. He and I worked hard together. We also had lots of fun debating about Michigan and Ohio State. He won that one lots of times!

I knew John years and years ago when he attended Ohio Dominican and lived in Columbus. I am so sorry to hear about his death. He was such a fun guy and the ODC Worthington crowd had many good times together. John, hearing about this makes me incredibly sad but I know you are at peace.

Cindy, Michael and Zachary, you are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. I worked with Mr. Favret at ESH and always found him to be a person with a heart bigger than he was. It was my pleasure to know him as a friend and to have him as my "boss" for a lot of years.

I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to know John. His sensitivity was overwhelming and his level of kindness very rare. He was one of a few who would have been welcomed in my "foxhole". He was a fabulous human being. I'll miss him.

RIP Mr. Favret. To Cindy, Michael and Zachary, I am so sorry to hear about John's passing. I will always have fond memories of him. I had the privilege of working as his administrative assistant for about a year at ESH, and still got to work with him even after I was in another position at ESH. My sincerest condolences to you all and may God comfort you during this difficult time.
