Big John,
we are grateful that we met you when you were in Bremen. We have vivid memories of thought-provoking discussions and numerous highly enjoyable get-to-gethers.

Without John, we'd never have met - and for that we owe him so much! His humor and intellect and wit and wonderful Texas-accented German will remain in our memories. See ya, Big John.

Big John, quoting Schiller and Goethe, great gardener, savior of my Kois, always generous with hospitality and advice ... Friday afternoons won't be the same.
Tschüs Wolfgang und Winnie

I will always remember you and Mrs. Simons having plenty of treats to eat and cats to play with each time Erika and I accompanied Mom for a visit. Thank you for the sweet memories – Love Monika (Frisby) Bowler

Please accept our sincere condolences.

I'm going to miss our frequent afternoon discussions about beauty, justice and truth and of course his unique solutions to global military conflicts. Rest in peace, John,
Ursula
