Not sure what to say?

Jon: I´m sitting in my office and this email came up and reminded me that it has been a whole year since you passed away. It doesn´t seem real you were a great guy to work with your friend Shep Fargotstein

I knew John my during my high school years at Great Bridge High School. As I have seen a lot of people post, he was definitely a `Gentle Giant´. He was a very kind person and I never heard him say anything bad or negative about people! I consider myself blessed to call him friend! Prayers for his family during this time, May God be close to each of you as you find your `new´ normal

John Peterson was a nice guy, talented, hardworking, and a team player. I played football at Great Bridge High School with John (running back #26 1980 graduate). John was one of the best offensive tackles (he opened holesI for me to run the ball). Our team would not have been as successful without him. I would like to send my condolences to the family. You are in our prayers. Love, McClinton Wilson and Family

My deepest condolences to John's family at this sudden, profound loss of such a dear man. I was blessed to have John in my life for nearly thirteen years and gratefully cherish so many happy memories of time spent in his company. Family was John's top priority: He loved to talk about his siblings, daughters, and his four grandchildren! My thoughts and prayers will remain with each of you.

Another good man taken way too soon. All are in our thoughts and prayers.

My wife and I send our sincere condolences on your loss. Our prayers are for comfort to the many family and friends who have experienced the loss of John. Bob and Margaret Acre

My condolences to the family and Sonya. I knew John through Sonya. There is no doubt he will be forever missed.

John was an amazing man and a long-time friend. Sending my deepest condolences, and prayers for strength and a peaceful heart to Jennifer, Amanda and all who loved him.

I am totally shocked. I saw John probably 7-10 days ago and we were gonna make plans to have lunch. I am speechless. What a great guy!
