On the occasion of our 50TH high school reunion it was brought home how awfully sad it was not to have his smiling face among us and how I wish he had not been taken from us so soon. John was a very special person whose caring nature and sincerity was obvious to all, even during our high school years when such qualities are often neither common nor appreciated . I will never forget the encouraging words he had for me at our 20th reunion when I was going through some difficult times. We had not seen each other for years but he spoke with so much sincere empathy and kindness. I wish his loved ones condolence and peace and hope they can draw solace from the fact that John, while taken far too soon, was a positive force in the lives of so many and was truly loved by all who had the good fortune to know him and the even better fortune to have called him a friend

John was a true professional and mentor. He pushed me to be the best I could. He did everything first class and today's professionals could have learned lots from John. I will greatly miss him and my wife and I pray for the Young family.

My condolences to the Young Family. John was my first boss in ad sales and taught me many things about the business that I still rely on today. He was smart, firm but fair and a good man.

John taught me how to be a human being in the business world - something many people will never understand. He had a profound effect on my personal and professional life. Jill and my love goes out to all in the extended Young family.

I will miss Johns contagious laugh, I can hear him now, the way he lit up room when he entered it. His eyes so full of joy. His unconditional love to all that crossed his path. A true gentlemen, a wonderful Uncle, and best brother in law EVER. I will miss him with all my heart. All my love always Terri
