With sincere condolences to John's family and close friends, it was with sadness that I read of John's passing. I have fond memories of John attending Buddhist activities at the Jefferson Tibetan Society Buddhist Center in Charlottesville. He was a very kind person. I had missed seeing him in recent times. I will keep John in my prayers.

Jon's spirit was quiet but strong and it surrounded him. He will be missed. I did not know him for very long,or very well, but I am so sorry that he left this life so relatively early. My condolences to his family and friends.
