John was the best. I rented a home from him for 11 years and he was by far the best landlord I have ever had. He always took care of me where the house was concered and went above and beyond. When I questioned him once about how he always goes above and beyond for me he told me " I know the value of a good tenant. You treat them well and they will treat your property well". So thankful I knew him. My heart is hurting. God bless the family. Sending Prayers. Elaine Hanks

I think the obituary in the newspaper said it all. John was one of the nicest men I have ever known. Always helpful, always positive, it was a pleasure in my life to have known him. He deserved much longer in this world. I wish both his wife Carol and his son John all the best. They are a great family.

Our deepest condolences. Marc and I will always remember John's patience while driving the whole family from house to house hoping we'd find our new home; all while showing us a deep caring and support and the true meaning of Family.
