I am so sorry to hear about the loss of this wonderful man. I really really can't say enough about how cool this guy was. I met him through a mutual friend and I interviewed him on my show and he interviewed me on his show. he was so kind, so positive and cared about people and animals. The world lost a good person here. John was such a nice man. He was so funny and a great human being. I'm just really shocked that he's gone. He was so young. My heart goes out to his family and friends....
