Not sure what to say?

How could anyone forget John? I have such fond memories of our times together.

Celebrate John´s wonderful life as best you can. He would have wanted a joyous celebration of his life and the holidays.

Definitely a shock to loose a great man like John. I always enjoyed time with John whether it was on the golf course, dinner or hanging out after the round. He always made you feel welcome and part of the group. Class act. He will truly be missed. Our condolences to Elaine, Sophie, Natalie and all his friends and family. We will all mourning over the loss of John. Rick & Mary Cunningham

Elaine, Gerda and I were so saddened by John's passing. He was not only a co-worker but a friend. I will always remember the. kindness of both of you when I was in Milan a number of years ago. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this most difficult time.

I worked with John when I was at Amway, I also worked with Elaine as a Theater Representitve for R&D Tecnical Regulatory Support of Amway international. John was a tenacious marketer and dedicated family man. Prayers for his family and especially my good friend Elaine.

Elaine and family, I´m so terribly sorry for your loss. John was a wonderful man and we shared many conversations throughout the years. He even sent my son (who is a collector) a postage stamp from Italy when you were staying there! I was impressed by his great love of family and solid work ethic. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. John will be missed.

I remember the very first day working for John when we both realized that 35 years prior we were next door neighbors on Kilmer Drive. Crazy small world - it was 1972 and I was 9 and John was 13. I was the oldest in our family and John was like the older brother I never had. I even bought my second car from John (burgundy cutlass with white interior) ... At Amway John had the best demeanor and personality you could ever ask for in an upline. He loved to laugh and make people feel good. I am...

My deepest condolences for my old friend John. I still remember your humor that always light up our Thai team and your wittiness in picking up Thai slangs. Rest in peace my dear friend. Sending love to Elaine and family. Ratana

I am so sorry for your loss. John was my boss when he was a Director in Global Sales. I will always remember him as the calm when there was a storm, the funny guy with a warm smile, and a leader who was always available to his staff but never a micro manager. My thoughts and prayers are with John´s family who have lost a really good man. Today I have donated to First Tee of West Michigan in memory of John who is gone but never forgotten.
