Dear Linda and Dede,
John was a huge part of my life. He was such a wonderful man. I think of him every single day as I walk to my studio and feel so grateful to have known him well and to have been part the marvelous world of 63 Bluxome Street. His memory will never diminish. I send you both, and Andre, my love.

Dear Linda,
All I can say John was a very important influence in my business and personal life.
I wish I would of been able to spend time with him after I left Rainbow Waterproofing & Restoration.
Because of John I have enjoyed a wonderful career.
John is in my thoughts and prayers.

We had many happy times having final, finals with Ron, Billy, Les, Paul, Bob and me at the House of Shields, the Olympic Club, and Alfred's.
You never told us much about yourself. Why no mention of your leadership role for the Special Okympics? You brought a lot of joy to a lot of kids. Good on you.RIP my friend.

Dear Linda and Family,
A truly great Gentlemen of the old guard with the hallmark of integrity and generosity has passed.
I had great admiration for John. I remember when we both toured the new De Young together, he sent me a book the next day with a personal message. That was such an endearing gesture I will never forget when his name comes up in the future.
Please accept my sincerest condolences,

John, I know you are not Irish, but I suspect you are either part or partial to Leprechauns anyway. An Irish Blessing. May the road rise up to meet you; may the wind be always at your back; may the sun shine warm upon your face; May the rain fall soft upon your field; and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hands. I get the last word this time, sir. Danny
