John M. Cargill

Dear Phil,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved brother John. I know how much your family loved him and his singing. He fought a courageous battle. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. May John rest in peace.

Dear Donna,
I'm enormously saddened at the news of John's passing; what a loss.

John and I started working at Rowes Wharf at about the same time (1991) and were within months of each other's age. Over the years we cultivated an easy friendship. John often shared news with me of his life with you, summer vacation in York Beach and music.

John had met all three of my own children, several of my nieces and nephews, and he asked after them often. All of them are grown now, many with families of their own but they still ask about him regularly. His kind and friendly nature just made that kind of an impression on everybody.

GMO's a company but in many ways a family and John was definitely a part of that. I'm really going to miss him.

with sincere condolences to you and your family,
Chuck Taylor

I grew up across the street from John and he was a lifelong friend. His battle with cancer was courageous and heroic. John provided our group of friends with entertainment and some of the best laughs of my life. You are deeply missed. Rest in peace my dear friend. We will meet again.

This news leaves me gutted. John was a very special person who brought light to his friends and family. I remember him during high school and church choir. A handsome kid who had a great smile and gentle soul. So sorry for Donna and his family...know that our family is praying for you all.

Our sincere condolences to you Donna on the passing of John. It was a short time I knew John as as member of our choir but was struck by his gentle spirit and musical talent. Please know you are in our prayers.

Dear Donna, I send my love and sympathy on John's passing. I will always remember his extraordinary voice. What a gift to each of us.
You were his greatest strength and was always there to support and love him. No one could have done anything more. May God give you comfort to carry forward.
In loving tribute to John, I am honored to call him and you, friend.

I knew John from working at GMO and always enjoyed chatting with him each morning. I'm very sorry to hear about John's passing. He will be missed!

I am very sorry for your loss.

Truly sorry to hear about John's passing. I worked at GMO and seeing and chatting with John was always a highlight of the day! Pick him up a coffee and chatting for a bit was welcomed time away from the desk. It was always great to head downstairs and have John singing away or doing an amazing trumpet imitation with his voice. GMO had their Christmas party last night and we all raised a glass to John! We lost a good one!

I knew John for several years from working at GMO. There wasnt a single day that John didnt make me feel better and happier about the work in front of me because of his warmth and friendly nature. He will be incredibly missed.

I have known John my entire life. He was a great friend and a caring, loving person to all who knew him. I can't tell you how much I will miss him.

John had a way of making you feel important when you talked with him. Always a big smile and a pat on the shoulder.

John used to stand behind me during Spartan Chorale concerts. He would try to make me laugh during the concert by occasionally singing a wrong note on purpose, just loud enough for me to hear. He even did this the time we sang at Symphony Hall in Boston.

He played the "Teen Angel" in the Stoneham Summer Theatre production of Grease. It was the highlight of the 2nd act. How apropos.

I am gonna miss you John, you are truly one of the good ones.

Thankyou John for letting me be your hairstylist for many years. We were never at a loss of conversation. I was honored to have know such a fabulous person....thanks for singing a little Elvis for me. He was my husband's favorite artist also.. you will be missed terribly. Don't stop singing.

Such a great guy. I've known John since I was a kid through sports and high school. Can't imagine John with out his brother Phil. Prayers to the family.
