Not sure what to say?

Sam,

I am so sorry. You will be in my prayers.

John's enthusiasm for plants, including showy natives, was shared with many. Luckily, I was one who had the pleasure of his friendship. We had years of phone conversations, but far too few meetings together. Lamyrl, John's plants in our landscapes will forever remind us your great botanical kinship. With deepest sympathy, Tom.

My thoughts and prayers are with John's wife and family. My the Lord watch over and bring you the comfort and peace as He only can through the power of His Holy Spirit! I was one of his classmates at Mary Persons High School class of 1957.

Our hearts are sad to hear of Brother John's passing. What a privilege to have known John. Caroline and I pray that God will give you strength and peace at this time in your life.

Lamryl, Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Lamryl, we are so sad to hear of John's passing. We had great times together with you two on the tours. John Thompson, our brother-in-law, was very fond of John. May he Rest in Peace and God give you comfort at this sad time.

John was like a daddy to me. I loved him and learned a lot from him. His knowledge of plants was a joy. My family will miss him everyday.
