Not sure what to say?

First my parents lawyer, then mine, but also a friend and neighbor, John's easy way with people and his caring for others needs made him SO SPECIAL to us all. Comfort in the vision of him skiing through the clouds of heaven with a whopping big smile! Elaine Vassar

To all: What a pleasure to have known John over the years. There are some whose acquaintance is a treasure, one to hold and remember for all time, and John's smile, attitude, love of Sarah and enjoyment of life is an understated inspiration. I never saw him lament anything more than a spilled beer or a low charge on that incredible wheelchair and that should be a model for us all. Thank you, John.

Bobbi and family, I am so sorry for your loss, I did not know John, but was aware of his battle through knowing you. Its difficult to lose a child at any age. I can say that also, but our memories do sustain us.

Dear Sarah and family, John was an inspiration of how to live life to the fullest. We shared his love for flying and it was a privilege to be part of the "fly-over" to honor his life. We will miss and remember him.

To my dear cousins and Aunt, I am so sorry for your loss. I havent seen cousin John for many years but we were all so close when we were young and growing up. I can never imagine how you must feel. I know it is in part sorrow and relief in knowing that he is at peace and watching over you all from up above. I admire him for his valiant fight with als and in his spirit for not letting it stop him from pursuing his dreams and continuing to help others. I wish you all peace and love. also, I...
