I was fortunate to meet John several months before his passing and enjoy his playful sense of humor. He was thoughtful, kind and caring. Tears came when he talked about his loving family and the TLC his niece provided during recent health problems. John will be missed; I am so sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathies and condolences go out to John's family at this time. I also worked with him at AGIA and shared a lot of good memories. We were both big Beatles fans and used to talk about their songs often. I pray that his family can get through this tough time.

Words cannot express how very sorry I am for your loss. Having had the privilege to work at AGIA then become a friend with John, I clearly understand what an inspiration he was to you and what an impact he made on your lives. His strength, honesty and kindness stood out in such a way that he is truly unforgettable to me. And know in your heart that he too was blessed by having an amazing family like you. He spoke warmly often of all of you, it feels as thought I know you too.
