I will always have fond memories and a soft spot in my heart for John. He was a wonderful friend of my husband, Ron Brown. And is Ron Brown was in hospice last year. The two of them reached out and had several excellent conversations. My sympathy is with you I know he will be greatly missed. Sorry I couldn´t be at the funeral today Helen.

With deepest condolences on the loss of this dear friend from years gone by. He will always be remembered for his love of life that he shared with me during our years of friendship.

I met John when he was looking after his mum Peggy. He was always there for her and was a good son. He loved to talk about his bountiful life abroad including London my hometown. He loved his home in Wintergreen. He would always mention it was 12 degrees cooler there. He knew I loved the cooler weather. There will be no more tears or sickness in heaven. We will all be together in peace my dear friend John. See you soon. Blessings love Always Andreè PS There´s not a St Paddy´s Day that...

This is such a thoughtfully written obituary and a wonderful photo of John. It captures him perfectly. I remember going shopping with John on Xmas eve (no other day would do) in Alexandria for a present for Barbara when she was little girl.

I am sending prayers to all of you. Especially Stevie and Pat, since I...

I will miss John greatly. He was a good and steady friend. He was always fun and truly full of life. I will miss the times at the bay with friends, the fun at his home in Wintergreen, and the joy of playing golf with him while he could. Rest in peace friend.

John was a classmate at James Monroe High School. He was warm, friendly, a true gentleman and a great smile! He had a sense of adventure and fun as refIected in his obituary. I am very saddened to learn of his passing.

So sorry to learn of John´s passing! A wonderful friend throughout adolescence & those early adult years. Too many adventures to count. Adventures always filled with laughter. Please: Who saw John run those beautiful Bootlegs on the old Maury Stadium turf? Don´t they bring a smile to one´s face? Amen!

Quite a legacy of activity. Very sorry Stevie. God bless the family. R I P.
