John Tuohy

Today I was advising a younger friend who felt slighted by others in his workplace about how to keep his head up when being criticized. I remembered what John told me back in 1986 after I'd been looked down on by an arrogant car dealer's son, and I relayed this today though I've used this hundreds of times in my past. John said "All you have to do is what I do. Simply look at the guy and think to yourself "You can't do what I do. You can't know what I know. You don't have the skills that I have. In fact, you couldn't carry my bags!"" John was a friend, a mentor, and a very, very wise man. His teachings have helped me countless times in my own career and my own businesses since then. I think of him often and I can't help but smile for the times he coached me and taught me how to be a better man and a better sales pro.

My condolences to Patty and children , my thoughts are with the family.

He was the epitomy of a good and kind man.

Dear Patty and family,
John's passing is truly sad for me, for I have referred to him as my "Second Father" for many years. He's forgotten more about life than I shall ever know, and I am grateful for his advice, his faith, and his humor that he has shared with me for 23 years... I'm so very sorry that I was not able to travel to OKC for a visit. You all are in my thoughts.

Dear Patty and Family - You and Jay were married for 49 years and I so remember attending your wedding with the reception held at the Tenderloin. It was so beautiful! I just remember Jay as being so nice and handsome. We are very sorry for your loss and we send you our love and prayers.

To Trish and Family,
While I didn't know your dad personally the beautiful obituary showed how wonderful and loving he was to the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

My condolences to the rntire tuohy Fsmily. john was a very important part of my life. I cannot think of John without smiling. John always reminded me to give back more than I take from life. John always gave more than he ever took. I will miss him.
