Not sure what to say?

Just found out about Johns passing. We were friends from Emory University. He was the first person I met as a freshman and got my college. We were close friends and remained in touch sporadically. The last time I saw I was in Chicago. He was in town or some bar. Association function. We went to Wrigley Field for a Cubs game. And then spent the rest of the afternoon and evening in Wrigleyville. He was such a great guy. This has come as a huge shock to me. My condolences to his family and...

John and I were buddies while undergrads at Emory. Such an impish personality and grin and intellectual brilliance made him special to me. We took a philosophy course together and an American History class as well. I still have his comments written in my class notes from 1975! Such a great guy and always a gentleman. So glad to learn of his happy personal life with his family. I have missed him for years. Much love to his family. I´m sure you laughed every day!!!

Mr. Tollefson was kind. Speaking with him left you feeling good. He will be remembered as someone who made the world better around him.

My sincerest condolences to John's family. I worked with him on a few litigated matters whilst working for an insurance company. Brilliant mind, nice man.

I will miss you John. Andre Jr. misses you and he tears up knowing he will not see you here on earth ever again. Thank you for sharing your passions and love with us. Finality of our earthly life is hard. May your sense of humor bring smiles to all you meet in heaven.

My thoughts are with you, Bonnie, and your family as you mourn the loss of your remarkable husband, father, grandfather and friend. I am so sorry for this painful loss. Warm Hugs, Gloria Drumm

So sorry to hear of John´s passing. Knew John from the years at BFRO. He was a great guy. I know he will be truly missed. Condolences and prayers.

For 15 plus years, I was a legal secretary to John. He was an awesome boss, and a wonderful friend. I will love and miss you John Tollefson. Anne Wells
