John, you brought light into the darkness of the homeless men/women you encountered in St. Petersburg, you extended a helping hand to the needy you met. May the angels already have led you into paradise.

They say a disciple is someone who follows Jesus Christ and an apostle is someone who proclaims Jesus Christ. John was a true apostle of Jesus Christ for his life in word and in deed proclaimed his faith in Jesus Christ. He was as St Francis would describe him as a “true instrument through which God worked to build His Kingdom”!! May his memory challenge us on our faith journey.

John was an angel on earth and now he in Heaven watching out for all of us. He helped so many, I was one of them. Won't go into details but much love to his family. They are also wonderful. So Blessed to have known John. He will be missed.

I knew John at Loyola High School as a member of the lacrosse team. I saw him briefly several times over the years. He was a kind, decent man - the type of person that will most surely be missed in today's society. I will keep him in my prayers forever.

May God grace you, John, with eternal life. In the six years I have known you, you did all the good you could, to all the people you could especially the homeless, in all the ways you could, as long as ever you could
