Not sure what to say?

What an immeasurable loss for John’s family and friends. John’s presence made everything and everybody a little brighter and just more darn FUN. He was a delightful soul and a highly valued friend. Thank you John, for all the joy you brought this world, for your unfailing wit and charm, and for the light you reflected all around—you are sorely missed.

John, may you rest in peace! High School would not have been as fun without you! What a funny guy! I pray for your family and friends. Your children have a wonderful foundation that was established because of you. May everyone touched by John continue to hold all that is near and dear to your heart. Farewell, my dear friend.

John was the definition of joie de vivre. Thank you for living, John, and brightening my life, and my family's life, with your irrepressible humor and friendship.

John's death makes you believe there's a heaven. John was so incredibly human, with all the fantastic qualities and the fun, interesting, fascinating quirks and edges that makes one worth knowing, and worth caring about. He was a wonderful friend, and it is impossible to believe that we won't someday meet again. There was simply too much there to be extinquished.

I had the pleasure to serve with John as a Board Member for the AFC. I will always remember his wonderful smile and great sense of humor. He will always be in my heart.

My heartfelt condolences to all John's Children, Family and Friends.
For me it has been a great priviledge to have know John and I am so honor to have spent a little time as his friend; because, he made me feel like a friend as he would always made everybody feel so special and unique. I will miss him forever; but I will listen to his voice calling me "Hola Querida" in his very witty sense of humor. He will always be in my heart. Thank you for all the great memories I will cherish them...

Even though we have only gotten to see John occasionally over the last several years just knowing he is gone creates a tremendous sense of loss. His friends and family are in our thoughts.

I am so saddened to hear of this news, I always admired John tremendously. His brother Mike was a friend of mine in high school and I send my deepest sympathy to him and all of his family.

May God bring comfort in your loss and sweet memories for future thought. Family and friends are in our prayers. Love, Guido and Patti
