I was shocked and saddened to hear of John's sudden passing. He was so full of life and always a pleasure to be around. John had a gift for creating a welcoming atmosphere and opening his heart and home to others. He will be sorely missed.

John you left us way too soon. You will be greatly missed. You were a wonderful business associate and a truly great friend. I know that your special spot in heaven will be decorated to the nines and that there will be many parties hosted by you. Save me a place at one of those parties for when we meet again. Love you buddy!!
