Not sure what to say?

John and I were friends as young boys. He and I could make each other laugh constantly. Fond memories. I'm not surprised we have taken similar career paths, even though we've been out of touch for decades.
I looked John up yesterday on a whim only to come across this tragic news.
My prayers will be for his widow and children.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I'm so sorry for this loss to John's family and friends. I knew John in High School as we had many AP classes together. I always respected him for his academic prowess. He was funny in a sneaky way and was always proud to be the "Curve buster". It's hard to see such talented peers dying at such a young age. Love life and love those around you! Rest in Peace old friend.

Dear all,
So sorry to know you've lost John. Living in your neighborhood for a time gave me the chance to know all of you. I have nice memories of John and my nephew Daniel "camping out" in John's tent in our back yard when they were growing up. Then having to hold back my niece Heather from wanting to join in on the fun. I told her she has to let the boys do there "guy stuff, camping thing." John was so good to Daniel for showing him a good time. He was a good soul and will be missed....
