The day I met John, his eyes sparkled and were full of love and light.
He also made me a cup of coffee at work that was undeniably the best coffee ever. It's amazing how the simplest things can be indelible in your heart.

The things in this world which are thoroughly insignificant are precisely the things which are singularly rare. (G.K. Chesterton)

John, thank you for always helping me to appreciate all things rare and hidden to the eye. You always were able to see the beauty and diamond in the rough in what most others dismissed. The world has lost a monarch of a soul, but now you have your wings. God bless and love you forever. Tina

We dated for about 6 months back in 1998. I helped him move from his apartment on Garnet St. in San Diego to my house in Los Angeles. I am saddened to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace.

John was a wonderful person, spirit and possessed so many talents. I remember his amazing cooking abilities, which is why he was such a successful chef, caterer, and he even worked on deep sea tuna boats as a chef for the crew! John was a fantastic actor as well, getting several credits, often cast as a policeman and marine.

John loved animals and was an exceptionally compassionate person.

He is deeply missed and will always be remembered.
Love,
