So sad to see this. I remember John from the 1980's when he was a fixture on local radio and other media events. Super nice guy, humble, genuine person. Sorry to see you go, sir.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

Advice at the office.

Terry and I will always be grateful for knowing John. He was a positive spirit and his smile lit up the room. We will always remember his advice and support when we first started our business and I will never forget his cooking advice. What a wonderful man.. and what a loss to all of us.

So sorry to hear of John's passing. My brothers Bill, Paul and I were on his radio show in Florida to talk about our Father's art career. John was a great personality and a good cooking demonstrator . Super voice . He leaves a lot of memories.

I just heard this news, and it's difficult to express my sorrow. I had worked with John on a variety of community activities. His smile and enthusiasm for life frequently lit up any room he entered. May he rest in peace.
