I went to all the same schools as John, even visited him in California. Heard him and the boys Jam on more than a few occasions. He was funny and always kind, a solid citizen who will be missed. My thoughts and prays are with the family .

John was truly loved by many and will be missed by all.
I met John when right when I started working at Kennedy Cabot in Beverly Hills in 1987 believe it or not.
We became instant friends and he was my first roommate here in LA. We shared an apartment in Sherman Oaks with Joe Nelson. Those were some fantastic memories.
We always stayed in touch and it was an honor to meet JP here a few years ago and get to know Tina over the phone.
My family EJ and James loved JD the second they met him, kindest funniest person, I mean who didn't.
It's been a tragic week with this news but there are so many great moments I will never forget.
Our heart and blessings go out to Tina, JP, Megan and Mike.
Love Guy EJ and James Keefer

John and I grew up as neighbors and were friends all through school. We had a lot of laughs over those years. He used to drive me and a friend to DCCC. Now, they were some trips! I send condolences to his family. I can only imagine how much you will miss him.

My condolences and thoughts are with John's family , friends and loved ones. I was fortunate enough to have known John and he always went out of his way with me to talk sports , music , horse racing and the old neighborhood when we saw each other. Really good guy and a great demeanor about him. Smart as a whip and very very funny. I'll miss running into him!! Real sorry to hear about his passing. Thinking of his Family , Friends and Loved Ones. -John Hanson
