Not sure what to say?

John was a great guy to work with over the years!

My thoughts and prayers are with John's family.

John was a true gentleman and all-round nice guy. He will be missed at Tuesday golf and at the O.C. Yacht Club.

Dear Bert,
John and you have been dear, dear friends since the days when John and Ted were fraternity brothers and roommates at Cornell. In addition you and John introduced us for which we are forever grateful. How fortunate we have been to have him in our lives. He was indeed a superior person in all respects! We will miss him on your trips to California but will look forward to seeing you.
With much love and sympathy,
Ted and Jan

Sorry about your loss. We will miss him in the Senior Golf league and also the Couples league.

Mrs. DeVries,

Sorry to hear about your husband, John.

Bert, Lynn and I were so sorry to hear about your loss of John. He will always be remembered as such a good man. We feel very fortunate to have met the two of you on your trips to CA. I will truly miss my walks with John. We look forward to seeing you on your next visit to Bob & Chris's. Ed & Lynn

Bert,
NOt only John's smile will be remembered but also his laugh and we had many over the years....grateful for those fun and good times.. Dolly

John was the very definition of a gentleman. How fortunate was his family to have had John as a guiding light. He leaves a legacy to his children and grandchildren...to all of us, to honor and cherish. Bert, while you have lost your soul mate and best friend, John certainly leaves beautiful memories of your wonderful life together. He tried so hard to stay for as long as possible. I know that strong will and spirit remains to give you comfort and guidance. Jim and I were fortunate to be part...
