It was a great blessing to know John, even for such a short time. We hold onto our memories of this great man, father and grandfather. It's hard to understand why our special loves are taken from us, but we find comfort knowing that they are with our Lord. Take comfort in knowing those we love will be reunited with us in eternity.

Wow, what an amazing man! I knew when I was a child. In Honolulu Hawaii foster village. He has amazing kids who I hold dear to my heart. We are all so far but yet feel close. John was a fun loving man and what I remember most is his IZOD shirts and his beautiful smile. " I thank you John for blessing my life and being a teacher to myself and also so many others. Your Ohana will miss you dearly. Love an Aloha, Carolyn Czar-Delima Maui

The smile on John's face in the photo says a lot. It is genuine and so was he. I didn't know him well, but my interaction with John in his sales role in the 90's when I was in Hawaii, was always professional and with integrity. Peace be with you...

We regret that we did not know John very well; however, he was married to a wonderful woman, Diana, and we know she cherished him and their life was wonderful together. There are special people who cross our lives while we are here and John and Diana are two of these special people! Our condolences to all of John's family.
Sending our love,

It is with great sadness that we learned of John's passing. We have been friends for many years and will greatly miss him. His smile, his laugh, his caring phone calls are among the good memories of our mutual friendship. Our shared times in Hawaii, when we were all young and hopeful, help keep us young and hopeful in our later years. Our deepest sympathy to his family and friends. Aloha, dear friend.

John was always kind to me and my family growing up in Hawaii. I'll always remember him as a fine golfer and a gentleman. Funny and warm. Floods of images come to mind when I think of John's smile. God Bless you.

It was a beautiful blessing to have John as my brother-in-law. While he was part of my life a short time, he brought so much gentleness, compassion and kindness to all of us - qualities acquired from a lifetime of living, loving and learning through joys and sorrows. I am so grateful for what he and Diana shared. He will be missed so much. My deepest sympathy to all his family and friends.

I am very fortunate to have the privilege of being John's friend for almost 40 years. I respected John both on a personal and professional basis and while I will miss his friendship and his phone calls, I feel blessed to have him as a dear friend. He will never be forgotten.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
