Dear Heart Wendy, Erin and Caitlin, Jerry and I are speechless....We so feel your hearts. John a man bigger than life and a presence that filled a room he was in! And his laughter to rattle your core! His hugs ....to awaken ones spirit to the core! A man who stood solid to his beliefs! When he took you in as a friend and family , he cared and loved deeply .Jerry and I always felt that from the day we meet him! I truly never meet a man that stood so tall and proud and loved so deeply!!! Always...

My heartfelt sympathies to Wendy and John's family. John's loyalty and love toward Wendy and hers toward him was such a beautiful example of true love...it was so apparent when ever they were in each other's presence and I loved seeing and knowing that exists on this earth.

Whenever I think of John Tinnon I see his wonderful smile and the twinkle in his eyes. John was larger than life in so many ways and always exuded the sheer joy of life. No matter how long it had been since you saw him last he made you feel as though you were still in his inner circle and welcomed you with open arms. Always a big bear hug!

I'm truly saddened to hear that his long battle has ended and hope that maybe someday, whether in the hereafter or in another shared lifetime,...

My heart is broken. So blessed to have had John cross my path.
My sympathies and love to you Wendy.
May he Rest In Peace.

I will always remember John as a warm, caring, giving and jovial person whose presence and spirited laugh always brought a smile to my face and heart. I always appreciated the respect John, Wendy, Erin, and Caitlin showed me and others on their frequent visits to Francesca's. May his spirit live forever.
