Hey John just want you to know that you may be gone physically from us but you are always in our hearts especially when we are out on the golf course enjoying our time together & missing those 3 putts you were always so famous for. Miss you a ton! Rest in peace!

Being a new neighbor in a new neighborhood, John was one of the first people I met while strolling the neighborhood. The first thing that struck me was his smile and genuinely good natured demeanor. One of the first things we discussed was the Baltimore Ravens, and boy was he an avid fan! He was way more knowledgeable of the team than I was, so I made it a point to get to know the roster, so the next time we would speak, I would have my ducks in a row.

We first met John when he was coaching basketball for our son and his boys. Then we knew him as the Manager of the Swim Center. He would always pop in on our class and say something funny. He would call Darrel, Sr. to replace broken glass at the center (so much broken glass). Then I, Rose, went to work for John when he was the Aquatics Director at CA. He was a wonderful boss and conveyed only the best customer service toward our members. We will always remember him as the warm, funny,...

The loss of John to Christine and family is immeasurable. For me he was a good friend and the best and most fun golfing companion I ever had the pleasure to play with. If we were on the same cart, he would go the extra mile to find my stray balls. He just bought a lightness and joy to be with him. I was lucky to be his neighbor and his occasional golfing partner
