Not sure what to say?

I have not forgotten your friendship. Miss you.

I wished I had known dear freind. I will miss you.

We have known John from Texas, he used to work for our company. for several years. John, you are gone by far to soon. You were such a gentle person. We will always remeber you and the time at Stone Art. Our sincere condolences to your family. Andrea and Gernot Ehrlich

He and his family supported me and associates and students and many others over the years in large and small ways direct and indirect in Utah and elsewhere.

As a neighbor, we watched as John thoughtfully and lovingly took care of his parents as their health declined. Thank you, John, for your wonderful example. You will be missed. Our prayers are with your family.

Through many visits to John and his Mother Tye's home and at various events, I was able to enjoy up-close his quiet but impactful generosity. He has made a tremendous, often unknown impact throughout Utah. I'm grateful to have especially been in touch to see his smile in this past year, and to learn from his vision for blessing children, education, and the environment.

John visited his good friend and mentor Wendell Williams last year after years of separation and it was a joyful reunion of two men who had great respect for one another. John's generosity went beyond the material and extended to his generosity of spirit and acceptance of differences. He is gone too soon. Buddy, we hardly knew ya.
In sadness we remember you,
Jude and Wendell Williams
