We have always enjoyed traveling with the both of you. John tried so hard to teach Cliff his rubber band tricks......just happy we were able to get together earlier this year to help John celebrate his birthday in Palm Springs. We have many good memories. We will definitely miss John.

John was my mentor and friend. It was my good fortune and a privilege to know and work with him from 1980 to 1990 in the BPA Public Affairs Office.
Our Sincere Sympathy to his family,

I knew John and Sue from their membership
in the Portland Society of Magicians.
It was always a pleasure to have them there
enjoying the performers and his "Tricks" as well.
The magic club and myself are richer for having known him.

Dear Sue,
Am so happy to see you won the lottery when it came to a husband, but so sad to see he is no longer with you. Sending love and prayers at this difficult time.
Hugs,
