I am sorry to hear of John's death. The Pathlights staff had the frequent pleasure of working with John in his capacity as a Public Service Administrator. He was particularly helpful with the Emergency Senior Services and Community Care programs. We are grateful for his contribution. I am certain the staff would wish to join me in expressing our deepest sympathy and it is my sad duty to undertake this task on their behalf.

I´ve known John half of my life. He was my first next-door neighbor when I turned 18 I was just starting out in life and he was just finishing graduate school then we reconnected when he had a job up here and I ended up working up here as well we spent many evenings together having pizza drinking beer together going out. John also enjoyed my children. He took them to the zoo had cookouts, but when Covid hit, we sort of lost track each other even though we lived 10 minutes apart. I just talked to him a couple weeks ago. We were just getting ready to have a get together and then this news I am totally devastated. John was one of the smartest, funniest individual I knew he cared about people with disabilities and he served his state with honor the world lost a good person and always be a hole in my heart cause he was just more than a friend. He was my mentor.
