Not sure what to say?

It was 12 years ago when i first met John at Adaptive Ski. They had just got "the Slider". Which was like a walker with skis. Oh the thrill of going downhill fast ( tethered to John so i don't get to wild!). I was on scholarship that first year and came back a few more times after that. John was such a nice helpful guy to work with and i still remember him and smile about those times in Durango. Blessings to his family, he is missed dearly.

Dear Susan and family, So sorry to hear about John's passing. What a kind, helpful, wonderful person he was. Wishing you peace knowing he is resting now. Carol House

As a family who was blessed to have met John - when he was Madison's instructor at Adaptive Sports - we have your entire family in our thoughts and prayers.

An honor and a privilege to know John. Miss him.

John was one of the very finest people imaginable. His positive energy infused anyone around him. He is greatly missed by so many.

I learned a great deal about adaptive skiing, and consequently about living life to its fullest from both John and Susan. I am grateful and fortunate to have crossed paths with both of them. Peace. Jonathan Bell
