Not sure what to say?

Too many memories. John was such a great friend to our family.

Father John, as I called him, was my boss when I worked for him at the Episcopal Dioceses in Boston in the summer.

John, you have raised an amazing son. I have had the pleasure of meeting Bill while he was here in Salt Lake at AlphaGraphics. You have done a fabulous job in raising such a wonderful man. I know that you are greatly missed. My love goes out to you and your family.

We have lost touch in recent years but remember our times together years ago. I was so sorry to hear of John's death.

Miss Kati, Bill & Family,

Although we didnt have the pleasure of meeting John, Kati has shared many of her favorite memories with us.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

We're so sorry to hear of John's passing. Such wonderful memories of early times on Meadow Road. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

When I arrived from Scotland one of the first families that I met were the Farquharsons. I attended East Longmeadow H.S. and played soccer with Andy. Both Mr. and Mrs. Farquharson extended a hand of friendship that was truly appreciated. The kindness shown to me by the Farquharsons will never be forgotten. Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss.
