Not sure what to say?

Thinking of my dear brother John today on his birthday. Not a day has passed without him entering my thoughts. He is all around. I´m remembering his witty humor and his smile, and I´m so grateful to have had such a loving, kind, and talented brother.

God bless you dear- I found you again, one year too late. May God comfort your family.

I just moved into my new office at the Francis Crick Institute, where we hope to start a program studying energy and maybe what leads to the lack of it as we age and in chronic fatigue. Here, I feature my new artwork, many thanks to wonderful Kaly family! I think about John all the time and what an important impact he had in my life, my evolution, and as a role model to be a kinder person. I will always miss him. Big hugs to the family! xx

John continues to inspire me to be the best artist and teacher I can be. He goes on in my imagination and my travels as an artist. Much love to all who had the great pleasure of John in their life.

I am heartbroken to hear of this tragic loss to humankind. I love this family and know their struggle. They turned a tragic illness into a cause to serve, educate, and eradicate illness. Though the bell tolls and we are diminished, I take heart in the courage and example of John and the Kaly family.

I am so sorry to hear of Johns passing! He struggled long and hard through this terrible illness. Please Ted and Mary Jo, find some comfort that he is no longer suffering, and that you both supported and fought so hard with him that you garnered the respect of many of us for your tireless efforts on his behalf. He was a sensitive , talented and beautiful soul who will be missed. God be with you during this difficult time.

Ted and Mary Jo, Dick and I were saddened to hear of the passing of your beloved son, John. It was always a pleasure to see him when he came into Mountain Air Sales-always with a smile and a warm greeting. We send our deepest sympathies! Kathy and Dick Jeffs
