Not sure what to say?

The presence that Uncle Jack and Aunt Virginia exuded when they walked into a room of people will live in my mind forever. The days at “T” street, the Christmas eves and especially the round of golf with Jack. These are memories that will stay in my heart forever. The knowledge, family, and love that Jack and Virginia left behind will live until the end of mankind. All my love, Always,
Michael John


P.S
The escapades at Catalina after Leslie’s wedding must be remembered as...

My friend John was such a great man that I got up early and got to work just in time twice a week for three years just to talk with him. In addition, I got up at 5:30 am on Saturdays to enjoy John's company along with our friend Bobby. John, I learned so much from you about so many things that I could never thank you enough. I will miss you much my friend.

In the eyes of many John Toomay was a great man. He was my Great Uncle being the uncle of my mother. I enjoyed his letters and knowing he enjoyed keeping track of my running. He will be missed, but his energy is now radiating across the universe just as his knowledge and legacy radiate across the world and touches us all.

So many fun memories of John and Virgina from Air Force days at Andrews AFB.Both of them bigger than life but, so humble. I know my Don was there to greet John and the three of them are having a toast. I miss them all. Harlene Madonna-Harm

John was a wonderful friend. We enjoyed sharing common interests in technology, sports and the love of our lives, our wives. His sense of humor and graciousness is already missed. Thank you, John, for being in our lives.

Along with sharing our middle name "Crawford" I had the pleasure and great pride of sharing many Beach Days on our "section" of sand in San Clemente and Christmas Eves with Uncle Jack's family along with all the cousins from Uncle Ted and Uncle Mike(my dad). Uncle Jack (John) loved the recited word and we all participated. We will miss him as we continue to miss Aunt Virginia. All our Love and Comfort to Pat, Tim, Kell and Leslie. Love, Christine Crawford Toomay Nielson and family

My Love to all of you. Your Dad was very special and will be missed by many but especially by you and the grandkids. He can join Virginia now and be at peace. Aunt Bea

John will be sorely missed by me, as Virginia still is! Love to each family member!

I will be at the Jolly Roger (Oceanside) today and salute the empty booth where Virginia and John sat in times gone by.
Virginia left first. Her friend Jean Suydam continued to meet John. I looked forward to greeting them every Sunday morning. (Also meeting members of John's family.)
One by one, we will join them and share more good times
