Hi Honey
It was so exhilirating to be with you and so devastating to lose you. I just hope you knew how much you were loved. I'll be your wife forever.

Dad,
You are missed even more today than you were 2 years ago. Our lives are void of your strength, your courage, your humor, your support and your absolute presence. Not a day goes by without thoughts of you and what a wonderful father you were. I love you now and forever and ever.
Your loving daughter,
Diana

John,
I can't begin to tell you, how much you are missed. What ever we do, it is just not the same without you. When Carl and I talk about you,
it always starts with, what story and what chapter. Your buds.

Dad, your grandson is growing up too damn fast. I see bits of you in him every day. I miss the jokes we had together, the way you saw the world, the first "Hey Josh!" over the phone, listening to you sing and play guitar in the next room when I was supposed to be asleep.
Thank you to everyone for their kind words and support. It means a lot to all of us.

You were no ordinary man, John Bone. You lived your life so well. You loved your family completely. You enjoyed things fully. You made the life of everyone who knew you better. The only thing worse than losing you would be not having known you at all. I miss you very much.

Dear family,
My sincerest condolences to your family. I was looking for my friend and I saw John's name. My dad is named John R. Bone, at 90 yrs., and lives in Pittsburgh, PA and I live here in Tucson. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Dearest John Bone, How did you always make any person that came into our family feel so welcome? I feel so fortunate that I knew you my whole life. You are one of my most favorite people to have walked this earth and I miss you.

At every family gathering the harsh reminder of your absence hits me like a kick in the chest. It's so unfair that we didn't have you with us longer.

I miss you the same today as I did a year ago. It will never go away. You were revered by many for your strength, loyalty, sense of priority, zest for the little things in life, kindness, sense of humor, and I could go on and on. There are so many questions about why you were taken from us so suddenly and way to early, but above all of those questions, I ask myself everyday how was I lucky enough to snag myself a father like you. You've made me who I am and I love it. Although there is a huge hole in my heart, your greatness and all the wonderful memories will never be lost. How could they, the boom of your voice fortunately still rings in my ears! I love you forever and ever!

It's been a long time since John passed my house on his daily walk. Now he and Don must be exchanging stories and having a good time.
The memories will always be there. Love and laughter live on.

John,
You were so good to all of us. My boys love to tell the 'Johnny Bone stories' which tells me that you gave them so much more than just a funny story. Memories of you are a gift and I love you for giving them to us.

"Family Values" is a phrase that is abused and tossed around recklessly by folks, but rarely in this world will you meet a man who valued his family with such conviction that it still to this day astounds at least one of his nephews. Uncle you were the one we all knew was always there at every turn in our road. Though just a man your presence in our family bordered on divine for your contribution to it was immeasurable. Simply saying you're sorely missed just doesn't quite get it done. Peace My Uncle your nephew Kim

You were always so much fun to be around. We can still hear your laugh...it was contagious! Even though we hadn't seen each other in a long time, we're happy that we got to know and love you. John & Connie

Strength, humor, love, wit, honor, decency, humility, compassion, empathy, courage, defense of the "little guy," justice---all the things that went to make up my brother John....but like the main character in The Grapes of Wrath, his wonderful spirit remains here in the better corners of our lives. Love, sister Patti Bone Cominos
