Oh my dear friend Phyllis I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. I just found out and I am so sorry I missed it. I wish I had the chance to meet him. I do know that he was a good man, husband, father, friend and Christian. All my love to you Phyliss and your family. RIP John

So sorry to hear about John's passing - prayers and thoughts are with the family. He was such a great person to work with!

Phyllis and families, hugs to all of you. So sorry for your loss.
I know you deeply loved John (Dad) as he also loved you with all of his heart.
Prayers and hugs to all of you.

Words are hard to find. You are a beautiful family and a great model of love and sacrifice.
I knew John best through MOA. He was soft spoken with great insight. He would tell me he had so many things to work on in order to be a better Christian man. And he would patiently listen to my struggles. A fine Christian man he was. A saint he is. May God grant you peace and comfort in this difficult time.
