We were saddened to hear of John´s passing. Our heartfelt condolences to the families. I was able to grow in my work because of John´s support and mentorship. May God rest his soul in peace.

I have many fond memories of my cousin, Jack. His good-natured teasing of our aunts always had family get-togethers filled with laughter. When I was a teenager (15?) and Jack was a young man living in Erie he took me golfing on several occasions. I got educated on more than golf! As a boy, I was blessed with many male role models. Men that showed me how to love life, work hard & play hard, etc. Jack, his father (Earl May), and his brother (Gary May) are certainly among them. ...

John was a joy to be around! Many good laughs on and off the golf course. He and Cindy also shared the gift of hospitality, providing lovely get togethers at their home! Leslie and I will miss him, and our thoughts and prayers go out to Cindy and family!

We are thinking about Cindy and John´s family. Please accept our deepest sympathies.

When we initially moved to Lake in the Woods, we participated in the annual road rally and subsequently won. Winning meant that we had to plan the next year´s event. We worked closely with John and it was quite a production. It was one for the books and enjoyed by all of the participants. We had many good times with John over our nearly 30 years of friendship. He was instrumental in seeing to it that my golf handicap was kept up to date and in spite of his best efforts at coaching, I...

John was a good friend and unique individual. He had such a good sense of humor and fun-loving spirit, always playing jokes on his golf buddies. I can still recall the very first time I golfed with him 26 or 27 years ago and the many more memories he created and left with his golf group buddies in the years since. I have many fond memories of our Cancun vacations and the many golf trips we enjoyed together. He was also one of the most generous individuals I have known. Our condolences and...

It is with great sadness to hear of the untimely loss of my good friend and golf buddy, John. I will forever miss and remember the stories of golf trips, our work/life experiences, comparing bourbon brands, and our never ending goal of playing more golf. He was simply one of a kind, and I will dearly miss him.

Offering out deepest condolences during this difficult time.
