Dearest Marti, Our hearts and love go out to you. Know that we share in your terrible loss. The friendship we have with you and John was a treasure to both of us. Those instant friendships only come around in life, far too few times.
There are no words that can express the loss everyone feels over John's passing. John was one of those real unique people that; if you're lucky, comes into your life and adds so much love, friendship, help and laughter, and that can never be replaced.
We send you our love.

Marti:
A void has been left in your life, but you have so many memories to remember. Your friends are there for you when needed. I respected John and held him as a very close friend. He loved you, your cooking/baking, and always spoke very highly of you. Will miss our talks, his smile, and most of all his positive attitude and zest for life. God be with you and your family always.

What a tragic loss for all of us who knew and loved John -- at least his suffering is over. I have countless memories of fun times spent with John and Marti -- memories that I will cherish forever. My prayers go out to his family, friends and even his beloved dog Scooter. Rest in peace my dear friend until we meet again.

Dear Marti, John and Artie,
Sending much sympathy to you on the loss of John. He was always such a kind man and willing to help. I know his loss is so great but hold on to the memories close to your hearts. May our loving God of Comfort embrace all of you during these difficult days. I am lifting you all up in prayers.

My deepest condolences to all the Choban family, especially Phillip who's in Romania.
John helped me acclimate to St. Mary's, something I'll always remember is the way he looked out for me during my first year in Cleveland.
Jon and Artie should know that they had a very good man as their father.

To the Choban family my cousins that I grew up with. What fun times we had at grandma's and grandpa's. John and I were close in heart forever even when we were far apart. He was a very special cousin and friend to me. My sympathy goes out to Marti and the family. He will always be in all our hearts.
Love you all,
