I had the pleasure of being one of John's instructors at BSA's National Executive Institute for 18 days in Arlington, TX. He was always ready with an understanding smile, usually followed by a hearty laugh! What a great Scouter, what a great man, what a great human being we have lost. John brought light into the lives of all he met, and his memory will always live in our hearts. God bless.

I just learned of John's passing from a college buddy. A good man, a good Scout, and a good example. Rest in Peace, John.

My thoughts and prayers go out to John's family. I worked with John in the South Plains Council office in Lubbock, and he always had a smile on his face and a pep in his walk.

I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. I sincerely enjoyed knowing and working with John while he was in Lafayette, LA as our BSA Council's field director. We were able to keep in touch via FaceBook. I will miss him greatly as will all his family, friends, and Scouters that John touched.

I was so saddened to learn of John's death. He will be greatly missed by so many whose lives he touched. I enjoyed serving in Scouting with John in Lubbock and seeing him at conferences after he went to Austin, to Mississippi and to Corpus. God bless Christie and the boys.

John was a special person. As a transplant patient myself, I felt a special connection to his recent health struggles. He was fun, friendly and a gentleman. My sympathy to your immediate family and to the larger family of Scouts.

What a guy! Never, never, never heard a bad word about John. What can you say bad about a man who was all about kindness, family, kids, laughter, friends, Scouting, fun, love, etc, etc. Worked with him several years at Scout office and it was a pleasure going to work knowing he would be there to brighten my day. We were blessed having him around.
