John Cardwell Stafford

Hi Bean! We'll its time to take your guest book off line. It's been 4 years. I think about you all the time and you will forever be in my heart. I know you and Pauline are together and laughing everyday! xxoo jan mocha frankie and stella

Johnny....I think of you every day without reminders from the past, but there always seem to be reminders, so many things I wish you could see or hear to laugh (or groan) about. Les Paul died this week and I keep thinking of your guitars and your bands and those times that made you so happy and energetic, so completely comfortable with living this life. Mocha is just great. She misses you, I can tell. Fran calls her 'Mokey' because 'it's easier to say.' (I know you'd appreciate that.) ...

I just heard of you loss. I'm so sad for you and the family. I know it's been over a year, but there is no real time in the loss of a loved one. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am a friend of Pauline's and heard so much about John through her. How gifted he was with his music and such a kind heart. No mother could love her boys more than Pauline. My heart goes out to you all

Well my John its been almost 16 months now since you left us. You had such a beautiful memorial. Out on the ocean....very strong waves...a surprising beautiful sunset. We all miss you and really can't believe you are gone. I think of you every day and smile when I know you are around me. Frankie and Stella miss you and I thank you for making sure they became mine. I know you are with Bumpadoo, Pooh and Flea Bag.....Louie, Trampis and all your other friends. I love you John I miss you.

John was definitely an "adopted" member of the Boltz family-he was loved by all of us and we sorely miss him. I remember many of the times we went to the Oregon coast, Jan and he would come down from Portland and join us. John was always ready to help with whatever needed to be done. What fun times we had.

John had "pain" on this earth, but I know in my heart that he has nothing but peace and joy in heaven and that he has spent some heaven time "hanging out" with our Mom, Dad, and...

In all the years we knew John, we never knew his middle name. I like the name Cardwell. It is a strong name and it totally suits him. John was strong and passionate for what he believed in. It always came through on the many visits to Eastern Oregon. We remember those times he spent with us, with the greatest of love in our hearts.
At times he seemed shy, but was not. He was curious and had many interests. He was really smart about a lot of things.
John had a very gentle spirit,...

John was such a wonderful person! All of you who knew him know of how he has enriched our lives and touched our hearts, just by being himself. The funny thing is that he was so humble and probably had no idea of how he made our world a better place just by him being here.
John, Jan and I had so much fun when we were together, just doing "simple" things like listening to music and having "deep" intellectual conversations about our cats. I will forever cherish these memories. That's just...

I am Jan's brother. I really liked John. I had many good times with John. He took care of my Mother and it was really appreciated. I will never forget John, he always has a place in my heart.

I'll always have great memories of our times together...as kids and as adults. Laughter, always the laughter... I love you, Bro.
