It's with great sadness that I'm made aware of John's passing.
John was my best friend growing up in our youth, and that was because he had friendly, loving, loyal, and generous qualities that I'm sure followed through the course of his life.
Our lives took a different path and I regret not keeping in touch and never meeting his wife and children.
Please except our deepest sympathies, and our hearts go out to Rosemary, Josh, Marissa, Lucy, Mary, Mena, Frank, and Tereza.
God Bless.

I wish to convey our deepest condolence's to Rosemary, Josh, Marissa and the entire Dutra Family.
John's family was very near and dear to his heart and I'm sure he will be watching over his family, as he did in life.
I met John several years ago, over time we developed a friendship. His character was made up of humor, integrity, family values and enjoying life to the fullest.
Rosemary and John's home was open to Family and friends and always made you feel welcome.
We truly will miss you John, May the memories you left in your loved ones hearts, help console them.
Till we meet again
