JOHN, it's still difficult to accept your departure. I'm very grateful to have many precious memories, and photos of some awesome times that we've shared. In February{passing}, June{Father's Day}, July{your birthday}, December{Christmas Cards}, anytime, I'm always reminded of this quote: Don't strive to make your presence noticed, instead, make your absence felt. Cuz, your absence is truly felt! You will always be my favorite male cousin. Love for all eternity!...Linda A Florence

I'm so sorry to hear about my friend we missed him at swimming and hope everything was going well. God had a better place for him and a new life. John was a really nice guy always with a smile, and something nice to say he will be missed a lot. May the family be strong at this time of loss and let God have it he will help you through it.

To the family of John
John was my friend from Princeton\Northwest Rec center. John was always the first one to arrive each morning at 6am to workout in the pool or to go walking. He always greeted you with that HUGE smile and great laugh.
John we will miss you!!

To all of John's Family, and Friends, always hold in your hearts just how much John loved and "cared" for each and everyone of you. You couldn't ask for a more "caring" person.People take the word "care" for granted,not John.He was the kind of person who would have your best interest at heart! I am very happy that he "allowed" Jesus to rule in his heart helping him to be a great connector with people.I will miss his "presence" in my life.He was more than a cousin,he was the true picture of what Family use to be like. May The Lord bless, comfort, and guide our hearts to be more Christ like daily. "Love Forever",cousins-Regina,Michael,Linda,Tina L Florence
