Not sure what to say?

Just saw To Leslie while mourning the rest of my father 4 days ago. I feel I know him. And we have crossed paths so many times, living in Bellevue , LA and DC area. All the best to family.

What a Blessing to have had such a Beautiful Soul as John in this world. If only there were more people such as he. May his Family and Friends All have peace in them, as John will always be a part of You All... With Sincerity and Blessings...Amen

From what I've read here, Michael Morris's "To Leslie" is the most wonderful memorial one could imagine for such a life as John's. May his memory be a blessing to you & to everyone whose stories he brought forward.

I am very saddened to hear about John's passing. I knew him from a movie I directed, A Dull House, and he played Uncle Albert. He was great, funny, and friendly. Rest in peace, dear John. Ali Kiani

We had a chance to meet John when he came over to our house with Dan for lunch. All of us being travel enthusiasts resulted in a lot of travel stories being shared . John was home from the moment he stepped in the house sharing his rich trove of knowledge. He was an absolute joy to meet and Paula and I thoroughly loved listening to him. May his soul rest in peace. Our sincere condolences to bereaved family.

Worked with John several times over the last 20 years as an actor. A consummate professional. Will miss him dearly.

I performed with John in the play , "And the Winner Is..." He had a fess great talent as an actor and as a gentleman. We sometimes shared a few beers after our shows on weekends and his company was great! I am so sad to hear of his passing and send my condolences to his family. The world has lost "one of the good ones"

Im heartbroken to learn that John has left us. I love you my dear friend. I met John 14 years ago, we been friends, partners, roomies. John acted in 3 films I produced and did an amazing job, no one could tell he had Alzheimer´s he always faced adversity with a smile. He was one of the best human beings I have ever met, his light shined always. I will miss you dearly John. Rest in power, rest in joy and happiness. Good speed

When I lived in Pennsylvania, I met John at Club Med Martinique in May of 1980. I can attest to his love of dancing, although he begged me for mercy to stop dancing to the 5-minute version of "Funkytown". That dance remained our joke all the years I knew him. During a California trip for a job interview a few months later, John introduced me to the beauty of sailing on a trip to Catalina. When I moved to California in 1981, John was a big help to a very naive Pittsburgh girl. We stayed...
