They say a disciple is someone who follows Jesus Christ and an apostle is someone who proclaims Jesus Christ.

John was an angel on earth and now he in Heaven watching out for all of us. He helped so many, I was one of them. Won't go into details but much love to his family. They are also wonderful. So Blessed to have known John. He will be missed.

I knew John at Loyola High School as a member of the lacrosse team. I saw him briefly several times over the years. He was a kind, decent man - the type of person that will most surely be missed in today's society. I will keep him in my prayers forever.

May God grace you, John, with eternal life. In the six years I have known you, you did all the good you could, to all the people you could especially the homeless, in all the ways you could, as long as ever you could
