I remember his smile as a young boy, it lit up a room. There´s no words at a time like this, so I send my love to you Tref, and to your entire family.

I shared many moments w John/Angie. He was a kind, sweet young man. I am devastated by his loss and thinking daily about his family and praying that time and the support of friends, and I proudly count myself among them, will bring comfort and peace.

John had the sweetest smile. I love the memory of him reluctantly watching the movie Fletch with all of us-his first time seeing it. I don´t think he expected to laugh at the ridiculousness of it as much as he did. A great person, brother and son whose light will continue to shine bright in memories. Sending you so much love.

I'm so sorry to hear about Augie, I'll never forget running around in the marshes behind your house in Scituate. I'm so sorry for your loss.
