I was lucky enough to be able to work with John for a brief period of time. During this time, I learned about his many talents outside of being a stellar collegue.

He could sing, and beautifully. He could act, he performed an act for me from a play he performed a lead role. He was instrumental, we bonded over our love for musical instruments.

He spent so much time working with me on presentations, and was so detailed, and patient. I have to say I doubt I'll meet another person as special as him. This news deeply saddens me. To his family: I am so very sorry for your loss. You should know, people from all over, who were lucky enough to cross paths, found him to be a remarkable, exceptional soul. Fly high John.
Love,
Vanessa

We have only known John a short time. We first met him and Laura a couple years ago when our grandson was dating their daughter Naomi. We found him to be a kind man who had a deep love for the Lord and for his family. The letter that he wrote to Naomi in celebration of her marriage to Aaron (our grandson) was precious. The Model A Ford that John had refurbished was exquisite. This car was used for the newly married couple’s wedding getaway. John had many marvelous talents, and he will be sorely missed by all of us.

My deepest condolences and prayers for your family. John was an amazing man. He was so kind, thoughtful and helpful. I will miss him. He had been helping me with my taxes the last few years. He was always so patient. I loved to talk to him about his family. He was so proud of you all and his love for you poured out of him.

What a wonderful life spent in such a short time. John was an amazing man who always had a smile on his face and showed his true love for his family. I am grateful my son was able to call him father-in-law. He will be truly missed by me and so many others.

John was an amazing guy and I enjoyed hearing him sing and watching him act. He was outgoing and friendly to all and loved life dearly. His family will be in my thoughts and prayers during their time of grief.

My heart goes out to you for the loss of your dear family member, John. I started working with John as colleague and a new member of a team at Oracle in August. John went out of his way to make me feel so very welcome. Since then I got to work with John directly. He has a great way about him. His customer interactions were always top quality and appreciated by all that received them. I haven't known John very long but sometimes in a very short amount of time you can just tell what someone is made of. John is a great great guy and great team member. I'm sorry for your loss. He will be missed.
