Not sure what to say?

To Betsy, Catherine and your family, I am sorry for your loss. John's dad, John, and my grandfather, Gene Kuykendall, were first cousins. But after Gene's mother died when he was nine years old, they were raised together with another cousin, George Herriott, more as brothers than cousins, according to my grandfather.

Very sad to just find out about John's untimely passing.
What an absolute gentleman.
I'm a English airline pilot who used to layover in Pasadena.

I am saddened to just learn of John's death. My condolences to his wife and children. I worked as an associate at Adams Duque & Hazeltine in 1980-81 and will never forget his kindness in inviting me to share Thanksgiving with his family at their home. I was alone in California, having moved there from Florida after law school. Every Thanksgiving for the past 39 years I have remembered that meal with John and his family. He was a kind and good man. I lost my wife last year and I know how...

Sending love to entire family. I'll always remember John and am glad our families met at Neighborhood Church! Life has definitely now changed completely, and I hope happy memories return quickly.

My deepest condolences. Paul and I loved our visits with you and John. Paul relied on John's legal skills, friendship, and good judgment throughout the years, as he told me many times. Also, Paul and I were so grateful for John's efforts to secure for Paul the best medical care when Paul got sick. John was a mensch - a good and wise man of integrity. He will be much missed.

I am saddened by John's death and thoughtful of his family and friends who will miss him dearly.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
