Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry that I did not know about John's passing. I would have been there to say my "Good Bye" personally. I owe him my business "life". John and Mary, along with John Peiffer took me in as their adopted son and taught me the real estate business, and more importantly, the business of giving more than you receive, and finding greatness by promoting greatness in others. I have been blessed with a great real estate career, and I owe it all to John who saw something in me, and...

Dear Roberta,
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
The stories of your dad are wonderful. What a guy.
Hugs and love friend.

Thanksgiving. Whenever I think of John, I am always reminded of the many Thanksgiving meals we shared at his brother Don's home. Many lessons, laughs and calories were shared on those special days. He was a wonderful man and will be missed.

Dear Roberta,

My deepest sympathies go out to you in John's passing. He was a wonderful man and it was a pleasure knowing both he and your mom. John did a great service to our community with his involvement in the Eldercare Foundation and Home Aides of Central New York. He will be missed. I will keep you in my prayers.
With love, Pam Wilson

Dear Roberta;
My sympathy and prayers go out to you on the passing of John. He was a good friend to my father in his later years. They both enjoyed sharing their experiences in Rotary. My father truly valued John's friendship.

Dear Roberta and Family:
Please accept my deepest sympathies. I worked for John in the Liverpool Office in the early 70's, and then opened and managed the North Syracuse Office for him in 1975. I remember him, and Mary too, very fondly. He was a true gentleman in my book, and I shall always remember the opportunities he gave me with respect and gratitude.
