Mark and Family,
Although I never really knew John, I had heard alot about him. I would occasionally run into him around town. If he was by himself I never knew which one he was. Except when I would see him in Bilo. He had such a kind heart and took everything in stride. He would tell me how you and your family would be doing. And I would thank him and wish his family well.
I feel your pain and will keep your family in my prayers. God Bless
Sincerely,

Melissa and Family, my prayers go out to you all. I worked with JJ at Bilo w/ Tommy(I was co manager). JJ was a hard worker and I could depend on him for anything. I was totally shocked to hear of his passing. He really did love you guys and was a very proud pa pa when Nickolas was born. Momeries are a wonderful thing and will keep you strong and that is what JJ would want. Sorry to hear of a life lost at a young age. I really don't know how to say I'm sorry except that he will be really really missed.
