John Abdullah Shamsideen

Dear Richie, Idette and Family Members,

We have beautiful memories of John's smiling face. We met him about 14 years ago after meeting Richie. We remember being inspired by his love and service to Richie as they aged together and he cooked and provided for her as she became less able to meet her own needs. Over the years, we could count on a warm welcome, regardless of his own circumstances. Even as his and Richie's health demanded that they secure more services, he never let...

Assalamu Alaikom (Peace be onto you),
To the family of Brother John, may Allah give you patience.
Oh Allah, accept all of Brother John’s deeds and grant him paradise. Amen.

Dear extended family, I know Bro. John is smiling down on you all. Take care, and God bless.

Aunt Richie, Varnaud, Idette and family members,

Thank you for sharing your recent thoughts, and treasured memories. I am sure your immediate family and friends must really appreciate the legacy you have created.

Warmest regards and God Bless,

Paul & The Cofer Family...

To my Best Friend on This Earth.
My heart goes out to you and your family at this time. I do know the pain of losing your father, and if there is anything I can do for you, plz call me. Kiss your mother (my other mother) for me. Friends for life

Varnaud, Idette and Mrs Bolton, you are in our prayers.

Dear Friends,

Brother John will truly be missed by all. Much Peace.

Dear Mrs. Botlon;

I am deeply saddened to hear of Mr. Bolton's death. My prayers and deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Dear Friends:

I read today with sadness of the passing of our dear Brother John. I met him in 1988 through my ex-spouse, and grew to love and respect him greatly over the years.

One of my happiest memories of John was when he and your family were living on Hempstead street, and he had caught a mouse in the kitchen. He came back into the dining room proudly displaying what he had caught. The look on his face was priceless - he had an adorable smile!

Both...
