John, rest in peace. Thank you for helping me in my early career as a therapist as my Clinical Supervisor at Children's Bureau. I have wonderful memories of that time because of your allowing me the freedom to stretch my intern wings. I learned the essence of growth and transformation from you that I carry today in my work and writing of children's therapy stories. Linda, please accept my condolences and know that John didn't just make a difference in the lives of children, but also in the hearts and minds of the adults he watched over, so we could all share his vision of leaving the world a better place.

So sad to hear of this loss for children and their families. John always put children and their families in the forefront. He was a great partner and a kind-hearted soul. He will be greatly missed.

I am so sad to learn of John's passing. He and I had such a wonderful professional collaboration - presenting our results on the Partnership for Families child abuse prevention program, both locally at ICAN and then at the national Zero To Three convention. We also worked together on LA County's Department of Mental Health ICARE steering committee and group (to which we also presented). He was universally respected and admired in the field. But it was all due to the deep and heart-felt passion he had for improving the lives of at-risk families with very young children. You could hear it in his voice and see it in his face. The world is a better place for his living in it. I will miss him and can't believe he's not here still. Katherine Reuter, PhD
