Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. I have many fond childhood memories of our visits to my Uncle's and Aunt's farm in Sedalia. I remember a lot of State Fair exhibits and the times that John and his brothers & sisters visited us at our house at the lake. I certainly remember his kind letter to my mom when my dad passed away & how much it meant to her. In times such as these it is a very sad thing to lose such a wonderful & kind person. Seems we need souls such as John even more here...

I want you to know how much I appreciate everything you and John did for me while I was at school, and that I know John's beautiful heart is resting happily in Heaven. He was a model Christian and always put others before himself, and truly inspired me.

So sorry for your loss.
I only knew John thru work. He had such a love for what he did, that he had an enviable reputation.
I first met John about 20 years ago. When we talked about our families, I always heard love and pride for his family from him.

The depth of John's relationship with his own Heavenly Father was so readily apparent. May the...

A talented man, a good man-
I will miss him.

John was a strong , passionate, and devoted individual who gave me a chance to grow both personally and professionally. I am thankful for my time spent working for him and I am very sorry to hear of his passing; my thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and all at Simon & Associates.

Few people leave behind a better world because they lived. John will be missed because he did.

We were so very sad to learn of John's death. To us, he was a great colleague, easy to please client, but always a friend. We will miss him very much - he was simply the smartest man we knew!

We were extremely sorry to read of your loss of John. Please be assured of our deepest sympathy and prayers during this time of bereavement. The adjustment to the loss of a beloved husband will be hard, and we shall be thinking of you.
My memory slips back to the early seventies, when we were just starting Preston Frorest, and John was establishing his company. It was a good partnership, and John was most helpful and we began the development. His advice and work were outstanding, and...
