Tom and I are so sorry. We treasure even our old memories of him. He seemed a very admirable person and I can only imagine he grew in wisdom and peace, blessing you, your children and all who knew him.

Remembering John's wit, stride, and smile sailing down 109st in Richmond Hill, Queens. No surprise a wonderful guy became a wonderful man. God bless John and our deepest sympathy to the Kelly family. Love, the Delaneys

I love you guys so much. You have all done so much for my family. The last time I was there, I stayed there the night, when I spent the week in WA.

We were made better people by knowing John. Our prayers are for those he...
