I have so many good memories having worked with and for John and having 100s of hours flying together. He was such a sweet spirited and soft spoken man and loved the Lord. He was one of the best of many other pilots I have worked with over the yrs. My deepest sympathy to you Karine and all the family. David Brody

From the first time we watched you dance at the Arizona festival we knew you were special to each other. Then we learned how you loved our Lord and you became special to us. We looked forward to our reunion each November at the festival and especially Sunday dinner together.
We are thankful for knowing John and hearing about his ministries. Again you are both special to us in our memories. Our prayers will be with all the family for peace and comfort.
We love you, Karine.

I didn't know John very well, but his continuing faith in Jesus and his sense of humor through difficult circumstances encouraged me and my husband very much.

Karine,
Pep and I will truly miss John! I believe he was an inspiration to all who knew him. He was a great but gentle man in God's kingdom. His loss is great to us as well. All our love to you and your family.

John and Karine were stars in the Albanian autumn of 22 when they graced our fledgling Men For Mission work in Tirana. John´s sense of humor and love of adventure even in cold and rainy weather during those days brings smiles and good memories to us who enjoyed it. Forever grateful for John´s persistence that we extend God´s work through MFM in Albania, we thank the Lord for the privilege of knowing such a happy warrior for Jesus.

I have such happy images in my head of John and Karine dancing together, as I´m sure many family and friends do. Their dancing was infectious. I am saddened to hear of John´s passing and my sincerest condolences go out to his family and especially to you Karine. May God find ways in the coming days to fill your heart with comfort in the knowledge that John is with Him.
