Read MoreI worked at the UU congregation in the 'front office' for 8 years....John was a daily visitor. He and I became fast friends and united in our efforts to 'clean things up' :-) !! I always appreciated his consistency and fun spiritedness. I have missed him, and now I will miss him more. Much sympathy to his family...may his new journey go easy.

I will always cherish the memories of Grandpa John's cooking. The smell of olive oil and garlic still brings me back to his house, and my favorite Christmas Hula-hoop (I'm sure that was his doing). He was a wonderful husband to my grandmother and a grandfather full of wisdom and trivia to us.

I will miss John's concise wisdom and general willingness to "pick it up and move it along", especially about our precious spiritual home. Follow the white light, John!

I have so many great memories of "Grandpa John". Who can forget the garlic bread and the dandelion wine, mowing the lawn with a push mower, and the cookbooks. He was a great husband to my Grandmother for many years. Rest in Peace and Much love, John Paul.
