To all of John's loved ones:
We knew John and Carlyn for many years, and had some wonderful boating experiences in Christmas parades. He was a wonderful person, and we were please to count him as a friend. He will be missed.

So very sad to hear of John's passing. John and I worked together at HSN back in 1996 - 1998. Although he was quiet with a tough exterior shell, I was able to pull a few smiles from him throughout our time working together. His face would always light up when I asked him about boating. Looking back now, I have to say he truly was one of the best bosses I ever had. I will miss him dearly. May the peace and comfort from our Lord Jesus sustain your family through this time.
