To John's Family,
I was in Cleveland, Ohio on Sunday and Monday April 21st & 22nd so I was unable to speak with all of you about my relationship with John. Let me say how sorry I am for your loss, all of our loss. John was a business associate who became a friend.
Island Automated Medical Services was one of my first sponsors for the 1996 Florida Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. John's enthusiastic support allowed me to bring other sponsors to the event and make it a huge success for two years. John became one of my business mentors. We would get together for lunch every 3 or 4 months. When I approached him with new ideas he was always willing to spend the time and offer me his sage advice. My last visit with John was over lunch onboard the boat at Loggerhead. As usual we shared a warm, delightful time together as we discussed my latest project in medical billing, a subject where he was an expert!
We always talked about his children and grandchildren. He showed me recent photos of two of his grandchildren. He was so proud of his whole family. He told me his son was still working for Kiran Patel to whom he sold IAMS.
He shared how much he was enjoying the retirement he had worked so hard to create. We parted with the thought of getting together again soon for lunch. I regret that I will not have that opportunity.
My hope is in John's death through God's grace you all will find peace through wonderful memories. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers

John,
I am not going to remember you for how you died but for how you lived. Your gregarious personality was infectious, and it was so apparent that you lived life to the fullest. No regrets.
Thank you for your friendship, kindness, wit, conversation, and so much laughter. I will miss so much about you but feel incredibly blessed to have been a part of your life. Wonderful memories will sustain those of us fortunate to have known you.
Love & Light ~

Larger than life. A true original. A man of vision and passion. Impossible to forget. John, when they made you, they broke the mold! How would I know that a simple boy from Brooklyn would teach a Bronx boy so much about life? I quote you daily to the business and sales people around me who think they know so much, yet you have always been light years ahead of them. May you rest in peace, my friend.

Lori and I met John and Judy in 1989 as neighbors at Isla Key, Lori did his manicures for years after that, so it was with great shock and sadness that we read about his death. We send our condolences to his family, we are so sorry for your loss.

Poppy,
I will never forget the time when I was upset.. it was during the summer.. I didn't want to move or anything and you came in and sat next to me and rubbed my back. You gave me the greastest advice that day. That I would have to move on... not get over it but get through it.. I look back at this advice today and I am shakin to my core. I can't believe my poppy and my gerri have been takin away. Once more I have to feel the wounds on my heart split wide open.. I'm going to miss that big gentle smile.. you were so understanding and you seemed to know everything. Your hugs and kisses always making me feel safe always telling me how much you loved me... Poppy you will never be forgotten and I know and see by everyone how much you are loved. Ill see you again when my time comes and we will be together again forever. I love you.
Love,
Your Sunshine
