Well it has been 6 years, it doesn"t seem possible. John I think Dan is channeling you he has not stopped watching golf especially since he decided he likes women's golf! and now we can watch almost 24 hours a day. Anyway I think of you and Barbara often, I know you must be guiding the ship...

I just heard of the loss of John from Kevin Smith. Please accept my sincere condolences with his loss. Our parents were friends as we grew up at St. Brendan's. He was a lot of fun to work with on our reunion committee. It was an honor to have known him.

Was just looking at the obituaries and see this one about Deacon John. Deacon John married my husband and me at St. Bart's in 1995 and was a wonderful man. Very sorry to hear of his passing, our sympathies to his family.

Thank you Deacon John for being a friend. You married my wife and I, you baptized our first and only child. You spoke with my wife and I during difficult times and offered wisdom and guidance. You were a wonderful human being. I will always remember your talks at St. Barts. RIP

He was a shining light of love and service in our community. I was blessed to know his as friend and colleague in the Peninsula Multifaith Coalition. The world is a better place by far because he lived. His heart was just so big, it broke!
