I am so sorry for the loss of John. I remember playing with him as a child and attending Penn State with him where I always felt as though he was looking out for me. I am praying for Julie, John, Pammy and Cindy that they may find peace.

Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
"It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again."

John and I were very close friends throughout high school and we graduated together. As I sit here typing this, I recall a picture of he and I at graduation time. I also recall many nights shooting pool in the basement, watching the Grizwolds and sleighriding in the front yard trying to jump the stone wall without hitting the trees. I have no words to express the shock and disbelief that I'm feeling right now, albeit I know that undoubtedly, he's in a better place. RIP JME 2/14/09

I graduated from Dallas Senior High School a year after John, and I didn't get to know him until after high school, and what I saw was a great young man with alot to offer the world.
I'm very saddened to learn of his death, and he and his family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

You will be sadly missed by all whose heart you touched. One more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or that we were not ready to say good-bye. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
I know God is smiling today because you are back home with him.
You will never be forgotten and will be deeply missed, especially by me.
