It was always a joy having you in my store as a regular customer. I pray everyday that your family is able to find closure in this matter. I will never forget the look on your daughter & mother;s face when they came in to my store and asked me about oyu, since you had come to my store the day after you disappeared. I pray that your family will see you again one day, and be able to have the answers they need to this bizzare tragity!

Losing a child no matter what age is hard, but we know that John is in God's hands.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5.

Daddy John,

You were such a wonderful man! You made us smile when we didn't want too, You made us laugh til we cried..but one thing you won't make us do is forget all the great times we had with you. I know that there isn't a day that goes by that nobody thinks of you. You are thought about 24/7. Somewhere, someone is thinking about you. You touched so many lives and forever will. The loss of you was a tragedy, but you will forever be in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. My prayers go out to you and the family. I love you Daddy John, and just wanted to say thank you for your daughter, son, and wife.. they are such great people. I'll be right here if they need me. I love you all!

May God Bless you & your family, always. Xoxoxoxox's.

Kristina and family -
I just wanted to tell you all how sorry I am for your loss.
Your father/friend/etc. would be so proud of you all for you taking such a pro-active role in the wake of this tragedy. I regret that you all had to go through such a nightmare.

Know that with the passage of time you will be able to remember your father with more joy and happy memories. It will take a long time, but time does eventually blunt the acute pain.
