John, Your Florida friends continue to miss our dear friend and brother. We often think of you and tell stories about our many, many good times over so many years. You will never be forgotten.
Thank you for having been such a special guy and wonderful friend to all who knew you. Rest in peace brother.

I knew John and Cissy beginning in our teenage years in Terrytown. I had such respect for John, as did everyone who was lucky enough to have known him. He never had a bad word to say about anyone and would help anyone that needed it. This world is missing a truly bright light without him in it. My deepest sympathy to Cissy and family.

I met John in ' 84 and remember it well. It was my first time at Lenfants and he walked up to me and said his friend would like to dance; he pointed across the room to Jeff Lawrence and I said yes. The song was George Michael "Never Gona Dance Again". My Mom went to Heaven August 9th last year. I hope she has met him and they are having a great time dancing.

I do not know what I will do without my brother. I love him with all my heart and now it is broken. I will miss his smile, kind heart, his intelligent mind and his fun loving easy going way of life. But most of all, I will miss his voice, hugs and being there. I do not know how the world goes on without him. I love you with all my heart and will forever be thinking about you.
Your little Sis

Be strong my friend Judy! John had a short life, but a full and happy one. He really did do it his way. I will always remember him playing the (player) piano with such fun and gusto and "speaking French" to the dog.
We all miss him, but I will smile when I think of him, for he brought joy to us all.
He will always be in our hearts and in our minds.
Be strong my friend Judy! There is a brand new angel looking after you.
We are here for you.
Love, Eve, Michelle and Yiayia

I am so sorry to hear about John's passing. He will always be remembered as a happy go lucky guy, the cool guy with the cool car and cool friends! I can't say I ever remember him without a smile on his face...He was too young to go and will be sadly missed by all. Growing up he was like a brother to me, and it breaks my heart to have him gone. Know my thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.
Love,

I am extremely saddened to hear about the passing of my friend John Vincent (J.V.) He was like a brother to me and will be missed very much. Though the present time is sad, I will choose to instead celebrate the happiness and joy we shared together for many, many years! He was not only a person with whom I shared many good times but also a trusted confidant and a person who always had a positive and perhaps alternate view on the many issues we discussed. He always had a knack for making people all around him smile, cheerful and more thoughtful, I am sure he will be fondly remembered by all that knew him for these very rare qualities. Let us all celebrate his life and the fact that he touched us in a unique way and that we were privileged to have him in our lives! Peace be with you Brother and may the good Lord look over you for eternity. Jeff Lawrence
