Farewell to my Uncle Johnny. I was too old, I regret, to ever be asked a "very important question," but I did get to take a week-long trip with him in the famous blue van, where I learned a lot about many things, especially "traveling." When I got the phone call about his death, I was deep in rural Mexico, applying (I hope) those traveling lessons correctly. I have many other memories of him beyond that van trip: reading with him in my grandpa´s recliner, playing pickleball decades before...

I have known John professionally for many years but finally worked with him at Infinite Leap. A very special man. Probably one of the smartest people I have ever met. A teacher at heart.

I want to send my prayers and love to his family and hope that his memory will continue to be shared with those little ones.

To the entire Swart family, so sorry for your loss. Cancer...hate it! I remember Ginny talking about her little brother Johnny. What a wonderful man he became. God bless.

Great memories of John. Keeping you all in prayer.

He sure accomplished a lot in life and encouraged so many ( especially kids and grands). He will be missed. Sending each of you a big hug. Cousin Cindy and Jim.

And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him. Who have been called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28.

We are very sorry to hear of John's passing. Love to JoAnn and your entire family.
