Not sure what to say?

Always think of John when i see wonderful clouds in the sky.

Thinking of John and his wonderful teaching skills when I see unusual and beautiful.

John had a lasting impression on me that I can never thank him enough for.

I have always loved the variety of clouds. Ever since the memorial when I learned John appreciated the clouds I look at them in a new light and am reminded of him.

Whenever I think of John, I feel a sense of warmth and peace. He was always kind and gentle. I knew that I was in a good place whenever I was around him. I will miss you, John. My deepest condolences to your family.

John was one of my professors and mentors. I will be forever grateful for his wisdom, intelligence, humor, and kindness in guiding be through grad school. Rest In Peace, John. My condolences to the family.

What a wonderful teacher and an inspiration to his students! I treasured my classes with John at CU.
