I only just found about the death of John. I was a patient of John's. He was the most caring, sincere, reassuring and down to earth person. I adored him and although I did not have "real" heart issues he always humored me and took a lot of time reassuring me. I can't express my grief for your family to lose such a vibrant, energetic man. I actually feel a little lost knowing he is no longer with us. I am so sorry for your family.

I am at a conference and I just found out about John's sudden death! I am speachless and heartbroken. I would not have made it thru PA school without him. He picked me up everyday for almost 3 months when I couldn't walk. He encouraged me with his laughter and energy. He will be missed. I am deeply sorry for your loss especially, but really we all lose. You are in my prayers.

Nicci,Griffin and Madison,
Know that your husband, father and best friend will live eternally with you always. "SCANS" showed up at my fathers wake on March 4th of this year and I can't tell you how supportive he was for me but within minutes John was cracking a joke and made me laugh (Thank God) and spoke of his GREAT LOVE for his FAMILY. I will always love you "Scans" - your compassion, Love and loyalty Forever.. AMEN!! Memory Eternal

John was a giving man. His love for his family showed in his dedication to the community. The successes and achievements of the Big Walnut Youth Programs in which he was an integral part, reflect him and his family greatly. Men like him are few. John will be missed. My heart and prayers go out to his family.

Dear Nicci, Griffin, and Madison,
Quellete & Scanlon families:
It has been quite a few years since we last shared a family meal at some McGee holiday gathering. Griffin and Madison were just toddlers. I have nothing but fond memories of you and John and the kids together.
In spite of the distance in miles and years, in my heart you will always be my extended family. So, I was deeply grief stricken by the news of your devastating loss. Though there are no words that can possibly comfort you now, I pray that you will be held in light and love.
I hope that in time you will be able to cling to each other, and give each other space in equal measure as needed. I pray that you will be given whatever you need to cope, perhaps strength to make room for all of it - the grief, the laughter, the anger, and the memories, and whatever comes; because in doing so you will be sharing your love, and John's love will continue in your lives.
Peace, comfort, and blessings,
Matthew Young

Dear Scanlan Family:
I am deeply saddened by the loss of John, and wish to extend my prayers and best wishes to you and your extended family in this very difficult time. While John and I did not see or talk to one another much after our days together at Ohio State, I always thought of him as one of the "gang" from college. It was rare to ever come across John without a smile on his face, an upbeat attitude, and a great sense of humor. He was a friend to all of those that he came across in those days, and I am certain this was a personal trait that followed him into both his personal and professional life beyond school. He will be missed.

Dear Family, I had just heard while in the Hospital about John's Death from Dr. Auerbach. I was expecting him to walk in. Sadly, I will miss him laughing at me when I go for my appointment and down to earth talks. I had just met his wife during my pacemaker check and the funny jokes while in the office. May God Bless and Comfort all of you in this time of need. John was a great person and may his memories help to see you thru this time of need. With Deepest Sympathy. A Patient.

John was our uncle and one of the best human beings I have ever met. He was the nicest, most sincere, and caring person. I am still heartbroken over his death, and wish he were here today. It was an honor to have known him, and our family misses him so much.

Nicci and family - I am saddened to hear of the loss of such a wonderful person. I had the pleasure of attending high school with John (Scans) and have a lot of great memories from those days, especially as an LHS hoops fan. I hadn't seen your family in several years so it was really nice to see you all at the alumni tournament this past May where John was his typical spirited and quick witted self. After the game we all shared some laughs which brought out John's contagious smile. What a gift that smile was to all that that had the pleasure of knowing him. We'll miss you Scans.

To John and his Family:
John, I really enjoyed meeting you and you got me stoked into doing triathlons. I'll never forget the time I saw you at the Wendy's last year and you were wearing your speedo! LOL! I will miss our frank discussions at BA's office and wanted to thank you for being friendly and I always looked forward to seeing how you were doing. You will never have to wonder what kind of mark you left - you were a friend to all and will be missed by many.
Nicci, Madison and Griffin: I wish you comfort during this difficult time and hope you find comfort knowing that he really meant a lot to all of us.
Respectfully,

My husband, mother and I are so very deeply saddened by the loss of a wonderful man, father and husband. I met John as a patient at MCW and he instantly lifted my spirits and had a wonderful manner and light-hearted jokes to make me feel better. At my last appointment John introduced me to his children and you could immediately tell how proud he was of them and how much he loved them. I will sadly miss John. My prayers and deepest sympathy are with his family in their time of sorrow.

To John's family:
I just heard this morning of the tragedy of John's sudden death. I cannot imagine how devastated all of you must feel. I remember John well as a PA student here at Kettering College. He always challenged all faculty and was a leader in his class. I have read all of the postings and was amazed at what an impact he has had in other people's lives. We only get to know our students in a isolated environment, and rarely see how they impact the world.
My prayers are for your comfort in such a difficult time.

Nicci, Grif and Maddie:
Our prayers are with you at this time, know that John made a impact on those he touched. We were talking with Leah about John as one of her first softball coaches and how he constantly was having fun with the kids. John loved life and enjoyed helping the kids in our community.
Elizabeth Siferd
September 25, 2008
I have known John ever since he began working at Mt. Carmel. Always good for a chat and a smile. After I started in the EP lab I met Nicci and I really thought they fit together nicely and made such an attactive couple. I know she and their children will miss him terribly. My thoughts and prayers to them, and to his father and siblings.

I too went to highschool with John and I know there are several friends from "way back when" that are so sorry to hear the sad news. As Mike Lenahan mentioned he was truly one of the "good guys"! Always seemed to have a nice word to say and a smile on his face. You and your family will be in my prayers.

I met John as we both joined Rattlesnake as founding members at the same time. I always enjoyed our Wednesday evening men's league and several other events we played in. I was so saddened by the news of his passing. He was a funny guy and we just talked a couple of weeks ago on the Driving Range. He ask me if I had gotten lost since he had not seen me for awhile. That was John always ready with a friendly smile and a quick wit. Our thoughts and paryers go out to you and your family.

To The Scanlan Family
My wife and I are thinking of you and your children, praying for you and wanting you to know how much we care. We are deeply saddened by the passing of John. When going to see him at the office, it was like going to see a friend and having good coversation. He was always interested in what was going on in our lives and that made one feel that you were a special person to him. The last time we were at the office, John left to go see Madison at her cross country meet. In his coversations, it was so apparent how proud he was of his family. We feel that there must be one more star up in the sky every night now. Although that star is far away, its brightness and warmth still will reach us here to make our nights a little less dark. That star is John. Sheriff Dwight and Betty Radcliff.

News of John's passing truly is heartbreaking. His unconditional and absolute love of, and pride in his family was evident everyday-whether it be at an athletic event, community event or school function.

Nicci, Madison, Griffin and the Scanlan & Quellete families...Penny and I are saddend by your loss. John was truly one-of-a-kind. He was the epitome of kindness and decency. Memory is a paradise out of which we cannot be driven, and I shall always have fond memories of our time together, on the golf course, having dinner together, or just hanging out. I personally will always treasure the fact that I got to see John just a few weeks ago. We hugged, and talked about our families. He was very proud of Madison and Griffin. Nicci we wish you peace, hope, and love as you go forward without your life partner, but please always remember that we are here if you need us. God Bless you all.

Dear Scanlon family,
I worked with John at the Vineyard Medical Clinic on Monday nights. I can not tell you what a blessing he was to all of us... the patients adored him. He spent time listening to them; treating their symptoms and giving them encouragement. He is irreplaceable and I know our patients will be shocked and saddened by the loss of such a great and compassionate man; I know I am. I'll be praying for you.

We are so sorry and very saddened by the loss of John. He was very much a part of 6 Tower here at MCW, we will miss him very much. His smile,and his caring for not only the people he came in contact with every day,but by his caring of the patients. He loved his job, his friends (and if you knew John then you became a friend),but most of all he loved and was proud of his family.
He will be missed, God Bless his family in this very sad time.

John always brought us delight and hope in some freightful moments in my husband's life. As a patient of Dr Auercach's, John was his front line in health care. With his great talents, we found him to be 100% correct in all of his treatment and guidance. Many times, John rescued us from near disaster. I hope that you can find comfort in his loss knowing that John saved so many other lives through his compassion, humor, and knowledge. The world lost a great man.

Dear Scanlan Family:
I went to high school with John and just heard about your loss this morning. John and I had a few classes together (where I think we often competed for laughs from the teachers and our classmates - he won most of those contests). I also remember John as member of the basketball team at Lakewood. Those teams had a pretty robust following and for good reason, they were a great group of guys. I had not seen John for about ten years or so but ran into him the last time at a Browns game where we spoke for ten minutes or so. He was the same kid he was in high school; funny, bright, witty, friendly, and genuine. "Scans" as he was called by many of us was truly one of the good guys back in high school. He had no enemies whatsoever. Please know that prayers are coming from people like myself (that none of you have ever met), but for good reason, because John was really a really nice guy. Again, you will be in my prayers. Peace.

Nicci,
Sunil and I are deeply saddened by your tragic loss. John was a great man. I had the pleasure of knowing him when I called on Dr. Auerbach as a Plavix rep. I remember having lunch with you both and reflecting that you two were a wonderful, happy, and much in-love couple.
I remember your husband as a kind, funny, warm person who put everyone at ease. He was intelligent and witty to boot. I always laugh when I think about all of his Napoleon Dynamite paraphernalia. . . .
Sunil has always spoken so highly of you both personally and professionally, and I know that he sends a heartfelt hope for healing and peace to you and your entire family.
You are in my and Sunil's thoughts.
With Deepest Sympathy,
