Our prayers are with you always. We crossed paths at Camp Hot to Clot every year. You brought the best out of us and never will be forgotten in our hearts and thoughts. Thanks for helping my son John through camp.

Dear Roger:
Our hearts go out to you and your family. Our paths have crossed on many a baseball diamond as both friend and foe. The wins, losses, exhilaration and desperation, and everything in between have long since passed beyond memory. But what is not forgotten is that on no occasion did you ever bring anything less then a total, 100% commitment to the kids on your team, the game itself, and the task at hand. I know that you instilled many of those qualities in our son for which we are forever grateful, and it is those admirable qualities which will lead you from this wilderness. Be Well and God Bless you and your family.

Dear Susan and Family,
I happened to be in Pittsburgh last week and was horrified to see on the news what happened to John. My heart goes out to you all. I lost a son who was 21, so I have some idea what you are going through. May God be with you all and comfort you.
Love and God bless,

We never had the pleasure of meeting John, but our daughter Kelsey became good friends with him during their short time together at Edinboro University. Our deepest sympathies are with your family during this difficult time. May you find comfort in the fact that John was loved by so many.

John was a Senior my sophmore year at Baldwin High school. I actually never really had the opportunity to talk or become friends with him. But from what i hear he was an amazing young man and a perfect role model for students in the school and also in the community. My prayers go out to his family and closest friends in this tragic time.

I knew John from Camp hemovon in WV. He was a great role model for the younger kids with hemophilia. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Susan,
You and your family are in my prayers. I was so saddened to read John's death notice and realize who he was.
You probably do not remember me. My husband, Ed McGonigle, and I were good friends of your Mother and Dad and had many fun times with them. Ed and your Dad worked together at Comstock for many years and he was one of Ed's favorite. Also your Mother and I were friends. Betty, you and your sisters visited us at our cottage at Conneaut Lake.
Give my regards to Tom Woodman.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

Dear Family,
You do not know me, but I knew John E. from the store. I was "his" customer -- the lady who loves red. We had many great conversations and our last is one that I will never forget. He shared with me how much he enjoyed his last mission trip and how he hoped he could do mission work on a full time basis. But, he was concerned about "health care". I told him that if God was leading him to His work, He would also provide for his healthcare -- and, I encouraged him to follow His calling.
Thank you for sharing a beautiful son. He was a joy! You will remain in my prayers ... for comfort and peace. Praise God for all His blessings!

I was devistated to hear of John's tragic accident. I haven't seen him in a few years but recall what a wonderful young man he was when he would come to our house to visit my son Jon.
I can't imagine the pain you are experiencing but I hope there is comfort in knowing what a remarkable son you raised.
Our prayers are with you

I do not know your family; I did not know your son. I'm simply an Edinboro graduate and Pittsburgh native touched by this incredible tragedy. Your son seems like he was a great young man. I am proud to have him eternally a member of the Edinboro Family.

To John's Family - I cannot tell you how so very sorry I am for your tremendous loss. I did not know John, but my daughter, Amber Williams, was a friend of his in stage crew. She graduated in 2008. As a mother, my heart is breaking for you. This is every parent's nightmare and I am so sorry that you have to endure it. I cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through. My tears and my prayers are with you. Hopefully, in time, you will find some comfort in knowing that John is in a better place and you will see him again, when you, too, are called home to be with God. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." May God keep you, comfort you and give you strength. Your child touched many lives and he WILL be remembered and missed by more than you know.

I am very sorry about what happened to John. He was too young and too good of a person also. But he is in Heaven now and you will see him again. Again, I am sorry for all of this. He was truly a good person. I don't think I have heard anything terrible about him since I've known him. You raised him well and I give my sympathy to your family.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I heard about the terrible accident on the news. I do not know your son, but I am a graduate from Baldwin High of

Susan and Family,
My heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your son. It's been years since we last saw each other, but my heart ached when I read of the accident and ached even more when I saw Paula's Facebook post and realized I knew the family of one of the victims. As a parent of two boys aged 20 and 17, I know this is a parent's worse nightmare. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family during this most difficult of times. From reading the other posts, it sounds like you raised a wonderful son with a strong faith in God. Rely on that faith now to get you through the difficult days ahead.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Patty Tysarczyk Popek

Dear Sue and family,
What can I say but I am so sorry that you must go through this deeply sad time so early in John's life. I have this special little memory of seeing John at the shoe store and he told me of his plan to get you shoes for your birthday... not just any pair, but a red pair. The glint in his eye was precious. We talked again before he left for college and I was so impressed with his growth and maturity. I was as proud as if he were my own to hear of his plans and to sense that he was so "on track" for being a really good Christian man. It makes me smile to think of his love for you and the many wonderful ways he touched so many in these few short years. My heart breaks for you, but I thank you for having had such a really great son. You know I wish it could be different, but our faith gives us the hope and blessing of the comfort that he is in a far better place. Peace and love,

Words can not express how sad we were to hear of your loss. Our daughter Leah, who knew John at Baldwin High School and at the church, was very emotionally upset to hear that such a wonderful person passed away. She kept asking us why such a nice boy so involved in the church has to die so young. These are tough questions! God must have recognized his importance to take him earlier than most. Our sympathy and prayers extends to all your family.
