Not sure what to say?

Keeping my shoes on as you always instructed me at the end of our conversations

I sure miss our brief but delightful conversations when we met at various exhibits in NYC— John with his camera and home made light reflector— and when we spoke on the phone regarding advertising and the Art Society of Old Greenwich. John was a great supporter of the arts, may his work be inspiring and his memory a blessing.

John was a fine and intelligent man with a great sense of humor and a clear "sense of self". I am proud to call him my "Brother". RIP

As I light this candle in memory of John, I pray that he is now at peace.

Dear Family of John Tatge, You have lost a fine, respectful man, and I am very sorry about it. My prayers will always be with you and John.
Sincerely, Lydia

Gretchen and Family. Regina and I send our deepest condolences. We both wanted to attend the wake, but other commiments prevented this. May Angels watch over all of you. We will keep you in our daily thoughts and prayers.

Amanda, please accept my deepest condolences for your loss... Your father must have been an amazing man... I see him in you and Sophie... Much love,
Lisa

Dear Gretchen and family.
Peter and I are thinking of you this evening. Aside from his
own interests and talents, John was such a supporter of your
many endeavors and talents. I have such fond memories of
his presence at Art Council events all those many years ago,
his dry sense of humor always making any occasion fun.

With sympathy,

Morna and Peter

Amanda and family. I am sad to see the loss of your father. Remember the fun times.
warm regards
Andy Healy

Dear Gretchen,

condolences. John's life was filled with the love of art and artists, and we applaud all he did for others.

Fondly,
Bea and Peter Crumbine
