I just learned of the passing of my lifelong friend JH. My deepest sympathies to Vicky and family. JH was a wonderful person from grade school through college into Hoboken and on with our lives. He always made me laugh. He loved his family and his community. I am so saddened by this loss...

While it's been decades since I have spent any time with JH, I fondly remember his relaxed demeanor and friendly nature. I am quite sure that his adult years, work and family LIFE celebrated his wonderful spirit. It was a pleasure to have shared some time with him in my youth. Condolences to his family and friends. Godspeed.

My thoughts and prayers are with J.H.'s family during this difficult time. J.H. will always be an inspiration to me. I was lucky to have him assigned to me as my mentor at Stone & Webster. We met frequently to discuss the best ways to handle the many challenges that surface when transitioning from college to working at a large firm. He took his role seriously, listened more than spoke and always encouraged taking the high road and doing what was right. As young professional I did not realize that J.H. was not only providing me with sound advice for my career but more importantly my life.

My sympathy to your family during this very difficult time. I had the pleasure of working with JH years ago at Stone & Webster. He was a true team player.

It was with great sadness that I heard this terrible news. I hadn't seen JH for over 20 years but my memories are of a lovely man who along with Vicki extended so much warmth, friendship and generosity towards me when we met in Boston. It was a privilege to call him a friend. Thanks for memories you were a huge part in one of the best times of my life. My thoughts are with Vicki and his family at this time.

What a shock to learn of JH's passing. I was standing on our HS field today watching my daughter and a fellow HS alum shared this sad news. I have not seen JH in the years since we graduated but remember him well. Funny, easy going, and a friend to anyone smart enough to be interested. I am not surprised to read all of the wonderful thoughts from all of the lives he touched. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

Vickie, Nick, Darcey and Stephen - I was so shocked to hear about JH. Words cannot express how terribly sorry I am. My heart breaks for him and for you and your family. JH was not only my boss, but a good mate. JH always had is priorities straight - work to live. His top priority was his family, who he spoke so lovingly of. He really was a very proud dad. So, so very proud of his kids. This world is worse off for losing JH.

To his family,

JH will be dearly missed by those of us who had the priviledge to work with him. His positive attitude, honesty, earnestness, intelligence, work ethic, patience, modesty and natural curiousity made him a pleasure to work with and a valued contribution to every project.

As a fellow soccer coach and father of school age children, I had some opportunity to learn of and appreciate his devotion to family life and his community. I can only begin to imagine the feeling of loss upon his passing that those who he touched on a daily basis must feel.

I wish I had more comforting words than to say you are not alone in mourning his loss.

Vicki and kids, there are no words to say how sorry I am. I am the administrative assistant to the ZBA, and I came to love JH as a kind, patient, funny, loving man. I will miss our crazy e-mails. You are all in my prayers for God's strength and peace.

JH - nearly 30 years of true, loyal, unquestionable, friendship. You depart us too soon. I may only reason that God needed another angel in heaven to help him with his duties.

I send blessings to you and your family. I shall never forget your kindness. Someday we shall laugh together again.
