Not sure what to say?

To Stuart and Carrie, I'm sorry to hear of John's passing. This brings back memories of you and your dad and the annual picnics and the camaraderie at Photo Art in the 70's and early 80's. Those were good times. My condolences and best wishes to you.

Vianne & family, we are so sorry to hear of John's passing...

My sincere sympathy and condolences to the family and my friend Ethan.

John you will be missed. So appreciate how you served Oregon so well.

I was a freshman at LO when John was a senior. We reconnected at Portland Execs in the late 1970's. He photographed my four children in the same pose as a 1960's photo. He and his brother Ken were very nice people.

Our prayers are with the family.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

John was a dear friend and fellow Ham radio operator. We are grateful for the weekly breakfasts we shared with him and Vianne.

We especially appreciated John's visits with Albert at Suzanne Elise and when he was in rehab.

Alice enjoyed his stories, so rich in background details. The last one was when she asked how a links golf course was different from others. After awhile, she told him it was a naked course. He agreed.

Rest well, dear friend.
Albert and Alice...
