Not sure what to say?

John was such an intelligent guy! He Loved the outdoors and everything scientific! He Loved to ride his ten speed as much as I loved to ride my bicycle! Had some great adventures and made some lasting memories. I will miss you!!

I am very saddened to learn of John's passing. We knew each other during undergrad years at OSU. My sincerest condolences to the family.

So sorry to hear of your loss...Anita and Addie and family. He sounds like he was a wonderful guy and will be sorely missed. My thoughts are with all of you.

It has been my privilege and honor to know and be a colleague of John and Janis at the University of Utah. John was always so happy and upbeat. In discussions about science or anything outdoors, John was atop of it. He has done so much for the community, in addition to his many contributions to the advancement of science.

I will miss his editorials in the SLTribune. Kudos to you, John, for making your voice be heard on so many important issues.

Heartfelt wishes to Janis and...

The American Association of Immunologists extends its most sincere condolences to John's family and colleagues. We are deeply saddened by this news. John had been a dedicated member of AAI since 1987 attending annual meetings and serving as an associate editor for The JI. In addition to his passion for immunology and success as a researcher, he was clearly a man of many talents and dimensions. May his brave spirit sustain you through these difficult days.

Sincerely,
Michele...

I didn't know John as an adult which, to read his obituary, was my loss. John and I grew up as next door neighbors in Bartlesville in the 60's and early 70's. Along with his brother Robbie and several childhood friends we spent many hours playing games and goofing off. By high school it was evident that John, who was a year younger, had a great intellect. I'm glad he was able to use that intellect and create a wonderful life for himself and others.
Peace,
Phil

John was my PhD mentor from 1987-1990, as well as friend. My husband Steve and I moved out to Salt Lake City with the Weis family from Boston in 1989 to help set up the lab and continue my thesis research. I will never forget the kindness John and Janis showed us in making the transition from Boston, not to mention all the science and life lessons he taught me working in his lab. He will be greatly missed. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.
