Not sure what to say?

Still listening to John's music and remembering fondly our times in the field. He was a good man. Gone on, but not forgotten.

John, You passed too damn early. I'll never forget our adventures (and misadventures) together, and your and Gail's kindness to me. Peace, my brother.

I've been thinking about John in recent days. I must say that these memories are vivid and happy, such as "recreating" in a small sailboat on the Potomac River one fine fall afternoon. He is sorely missed.

He was the friendliest neighbor in Summer Haven.

John is still missed by all, he was one hell of a guy. I miss jamin with him from time to time, he could work that harmonica.

I really miss you and your family here in Summer Haven

Remembering John is remembering what heroes do for the rest of us and reminding ourselves not to forget those contributions or those heroes. I love Florida and am always in the fight to preserve our natural resources and always encouraged to keep up the fight when I know their are people at the lead really taking the fight to those who are mired in greed and unawareness. This was John. I grew up in an Ocala family, as did my husband David Swindell, where natural resources was our life. ...

Gail, it was with great sadness and sense of loss that I just learned of John's passing. Please accept the condolences of an old friend . "The strife is over, the battle won". Arms around you.

I just read about your house for sale in the paper. I'm a recent widow,the pain & loss is so great,I'm sorry. Prayers for a calm heart.
