My thoughts and prayers are with you in this very difficult time. I met John a few years ago through work, and John was always there when I needed him. I respected everything he stood for, a loving husband, proud father, and a great person. I will cherish the great conversations and companionship I was able to spend with John.

God Bless

Dearest John,
You were always so beautiful. Your kind heart and gentle ways will be the memories I cling to until I see you again. I love you so very much. Don't worry about anyone here. I'll see to it that everyone you loved is taken care of. Johnathan, Jacob, Thomas and Michael, and of course Lisa will forever be in my life for they serve of the constant reminder of the man you were. I know that you did things your way, I'm greatful for that. Never once did you pretend you were someone other than yourself. When you left you took a piece of my heart, which I'm glad to give. Thank you for everything, I will never ever forget you. I love you my dear sweet brother.

I'm deeply saddened by the news of Johnnys passing. Johnny and i grew up together and i remember fighting with him at the kindergarden bus stop as we seemed to do a lot as our years went on together but Johnny was always considered a good friend and always will be. I only wished i would have made a better effort to contact him when i was in town. I guess i figured there would always be a next time.
My heart goes out to all of his family and friends.

I am very sorry to hear of Johnny's passing. It has been years and years since I have seen or heard about Johnny . I have a lot of childhood memories of him and my brother, Jeff Marquis, the Turley kids, the Wendt kids, and all the neighborhood kids on 62nd street. We had alot of fun, snow sledding in the apple orchards, building forts, whatever fun or mischief all of us kids could get into, we did. I am sure we drove our parents nuts!! We all grew up, started careers, had families. I still think about our old neighborhood with wonderful thoughts. I am glad Johnny was a part of it.

I had the pleasure of knowing John for 3yrs now, and spoke to him many times a day for work. But he was always there for me if i needed to talk after work also. He is the sole reason i have been so successful at I-sys and i appreciated his hard work and dedication more than he will ever know. I will greatly miss all of the funny phonecalls, where he would tell me he had received a call from my boss (Bill) about me, and that i was in trouble... He was the best technician and he will be missed greatly, not just for the work he did but for the man he is.
John, you will be greatly missed more than words could ever express. You will always hold a special place in my heart...
