Not sure what to say?

You will never be forgotten my dear friend

Remembering you John...
You are sadly missed and thought of often.
Hopefully, you are keeping a watchful eye on
all of us.

Kathy and family,

I'm so sorry and to hear about John's untimely passing. I knew him at Mass College of Art and, though we soon lost track of each other after graduation, I've thought of him often over the last 30 years. I recall some of the adventures we had as art students - taking the train to NY, roaming the streets late into the night with our cameras before crashing at printmaker Michele Durand's loft in SoHo. I also remember his little blue "dune buggy" and our trips to...

To the entire Monahan family: We always considered you like cousins to us, as John's Dad and mine were such wonderful friends. We loved John very much. I'm happy to say I think my Dad Clayton White helped John get started in photography. John gave me my first journalism job in high school, at the Roslindale Post. I so very miss your parents, Ed and Claire. Ed was the best Godfather ever. Love and prayers to you all. John was an inspiration and role model to me: a creative and giving soul. He...

For you Kathy

When the winds blow and the rains fall and the sun shines through the clouds...he still resolves as he did then, that nothing so fine ever happened to him or anyone else as falling in love with Thee-

To the entire Monahan family,
Sending you our heartfelt sympathy and loving thoughts as you go through this difficult time. We pray that John will be kept alive in your hearts through happy memories and family remembrances.
God bless him and you.

Dear Kathy,
I can't tell you how shocked, stunned, and saddened I am to hear of John's passing. He was one of my most favorite people in the world. So kind, so generous, and so impish. It's been a long time since I saw him--or you--but I remember you both so fondly. I can't express the depths of my sympathy for you and the boys (I did meet Paul once, long ago when he was a toddler). I know your two large families will comfort you during this difficult time. My thoughts are with you--and...

Dear Kathy, Sean and Paul,
Sending our deepest sympathy to your family during this difficult time. Although we lost touch, we think of you all often and will always remember the good times our families had together on Raymond Terrace.
You're in our thoughts and prayers,
The Murphy Family

I'm so sorry for your loss. John was a great friend during high school and college. My heartfelt sumpathy,
Nancy (Stone) LaBier
