I met John while working at Grande Vie. He became one of my favorite residents due to his lighthearted nature, genuine kindness, and great sense of humor. I always enjoyed listening to his stories about his fascinating life and could always count on him to cheer me up when I was feeling down. While I only knew John for a few months, I will always be grateful for his wonderful friendship. May he rest in peace.

I only knew John for a short time. We met at Grande Vie where he had become friends with my mom so I would see him most every time I visited. He helped her out a lot, especially when she was new and I can't tell you what a comfort that was knowing she had someone looking out for her. She misses him very much and sends her love and condolences to the family. May he forever rest in peace.
