Dear Penny,
I was so sad to hear about John's passing. He was a good man, and a good boss. He was always an example of the kind of person we should all strive to be. May God comfort you in your grief.

We are sad to hear the tragic news of John's passing. We were colleagues in business and "neighbors" by chance; both in New York and Georgia. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

There is no doubt John is amongst the angels now. John is a great example of how to live and lead a godly life, showing many of us how to be a great spouse, partner, father, brother, leader, friend, and mentor. Our love and prayers are with your beautiful wife, Penny, your children, grandchildren, and extended family. Your legacy will not soon be forgotten and you will surely be missed by those blessed to have known you. Although it will be hard to say goodbye, we take comfort in the knowledge that one day we will meet again.

John,
Although the angels in heaven are surely rejoicing, those of us left behind are sad and grieving because you are gone from this world. Yours was a life well lived, John. Good-bye for now old friend, until we meet again in the next life…

It has been 45 years since I last saw my Cousin John and yet I have vivid memories of our childhood together. Of all the kids of that generation, John was always the cutest, and funniest and most clever. Its near impossible to believe that he is gone.
To his wife and children we offer our deepest condolences.

John, you were always a passionate man about the things you believed and the people you loved. Years have separated us, but the memories have not faded away. Hook up with Steven he's probably in the same neighborhood.

Thank you for being a man many can strive to be and hope to become. You will be sorely missed, but we can take solace in knowing you will be watching over your friends and loved ones. You have left a permanent, positive impression on all of those that had the pleasure to know you and speak with you, if only for a brief time.
