In reflection and in contrast to dealing with not just realtors, but contemporary
business communications, John's standard was one of excellence. The Jag in my garage should have been his, a classic.

Having met John when I was 18, he ...17, wildly alive yet always a gentleman, carried himself well, well-dressed, well-spoken, engaging , well-read, truthful, forthright, didn't mince words, often held a mirror up, with stinging reflections, that had a positive affect. I listened and made corrections, silently pissed that he was right.
His sexy flirty voice, only challenger might be Mathew Mconaughey with his gift too........ to charm.

I was so sorry to see about John's passing. He was a very old friend who went in & out of my life for the last 70 years. A kind & gently man who had his crazier side on his youth. I was glad to have had the opportunity to have had him as a friend.

Good friend, political satirist, dry wit, a human who cared greatly about the state of our union and a successful realtor . May his strength of commitment carry on in others he influenced . His life touched me deeply as a person of strength, humor and devotion to those he loved and cared about.

My condolences to John's family. I had the great pleasure of getting to know John over many years at the Towson YMCA. He always had an interesting take on local politics and events. I can remember several of these talks where he shared deep insight and gave me some great advice for personal growth. I am grateful for his wisdom.

So very sorry to read this! John was an exceptional Real Estate Agent but an even better human being. I had several transactions with John and his preparation was meticulous. I will miss seeing him at the Acura dealership and the conversations we had. RIP

I am so sorry to learn of John's passing. I knew him and Cary in the 1950s in Ruxton. I was also sad to learn of Cary's passing. My sympathy go you and those who cared for him. Cathy Hart
