John, your birthday is fast approaching us. I want you to know that Pam is going to be in great hands with me on your birthday. We are going to be pampered all day at the Lifetime Fitness spa. Who needs Valentine's Day when you've got girlfriends. I promise I am taking excellent care of her and she will smile because it feels good. She'll feel the sunshine upon her face and know it is you kissing her. She will hear the birds chirping and know that you are singing to her. Happy Birthday!!

I just wanted to check in and say how much I miss you. It's a new and different life without you but you are with me every step of the way. A tough week of "firsts" is coming up. On the 13th, it's Ameara's 2nd birthday and she misses her "Nampa" but she sure knows who you are and we won't let her forget. Tuesday is Valentine's Day and I will miss your silly cards and beautiful flowers. Wednesday would have been your 53rd birthday and I know you'll be having a big party in Heaven...Happy Birthday honey. Friends and family are still taking care of me and I love my new job at KTIS, but it doesn't come close to having you here. My only consolation is knowing I'll be with you in Heaven one day. I love you John.

God's Peace,

Pamela Jo

I am so sorry to read of John's death. I only learned today when I read a letter to the editor from Pamela. I wish I had known sooner.

Back in 1995, some friends and I were starting a new Internet service business. We were located in the Plymouth building in downtown Minneapolis. Although I had listened to John on the radio, it wasn't until he walked into our offices that I learned metro traffic was the same building. He invited us up for a tour, metro traffic became a customer, and John would often stop by in the morning to say hi and chat with us. Sometimes he would have a little "swag" with him and was always generous.

Someone else said you could hear him smile on the radio. That is such an appropriate description of the person I knew. He was always a pleasure and uplifting person to be around. It is truly a shame he passed away so young. My condolences to all of his family and close friends. I feel sorrow at his passing.

I knew when Joyce Lamont left KLBB that she could never be replaced. But then we got to listen to Pam, and we were blessed a while later to have John join her.

What a GREAT way to start your day with both of them.

To have a life snuffed out at such a young age is awful. But we will all remember the good that John brought out in all of us. As we all know, you could HEAR John smile on the air!!

My heartfelt condolences to you, Pam, and to all of your family. You will remain in our hearts and prayers.

Knowing John, and knowing that he was a big part of P.J.'s extra happiness after they met and wed, made a lot of people happy too. I am saddened that he is gone, however grateful that I was able to meet him and remember him with Love.

I will miss John. I woke up to the banter, had coffee to the banter, drove to work hearing the banter, and listened all morning to the banter.

I will miss his Honey Do show and all the tidbibs and humor espoused. Mostly I wil miss his voice.

I am so very sorry for your loss and the loss for everyone.

Sincerely,

Deb

I have enjoyed the morning show, 'The Breakfast Club', immensely. John and Pam are wonderful personalities and it has been a true pleasure to listen to them. I will miss John - one of the good guys! I can only express my sorrow to Pam for her loss. I will continue to listen to the morning show and I hope the very best for Pam in both her personal life and with continued success in her radio career.

I only knew Mr. Lundell through hearing his voice on KLBB. The husband and wife team brought me many smiles. His passing is a reminder of how many special people come into the lives of a community, to be enjoyed, to give a little happiness. And when that those people leave their void in our lives, we wish we would have said thanks when we were still able to. God Bless his family and friends....

I want to express how much I missed the morning show after John's death. When I turned on the radio this morning and heard Pam's voice I had an overwelming feeling of pride to have been one of their listeners.

What class to continue. It is like having John with us yet. Bravo, and please think of all of us sharing your greif when times get tough.

Love the show and the love what you two shared and it was felt by us all on the air and off. The moning show is the best. Thanks for continuing.

Thanks Pam. you make John proud.

We will always remember getting together for dinner and laughing till our faces hurt.

Saying goodbye isn't easy, but seeing John's smile and hearing his easy laugh will stay in our hearts and memory forever.

Dear Pam & Family,

I grew up listening to John's traffic reports on various secular radio stations. My best friend is a Lundell, and though we never found out for sure if there was a relation, we have always kidded that he was her Uncle John. Later, after coming to Christ, I was overjoyed to hear him on KTIS, not only giving traffic reports but sharing his testimony and always speaking of his "best friend, Pam." I was delighted when I got to see John AND Pam on TPT during pledge drives. Your love, respect and admiration for each other was clear to anyone watching. I wish I had known about KLBB, as I was sad to hear John announce he was leaving Metro Traffic. As an animal lover and future vet tech, you and John were further endeared to me when I saw you appearing on a telethon for the humane society. John was a wonderful man and I will miss him along with the many, many others whose lives he touched. I thank God for blessing us with John. I pray that you can take comfort in the inspiring legacy he leaves behind.

With deepest sympathy...

My heart is broken and I have lost my best friend as well as husband. I just had to say THANK YOU to all of you who have posted in John's memory.

Dear Pam and Family,

We were so shocked and saddened to hear about John's passing. You and John were wonderful on the radio together. It made the daily commute so much easier having the Breakfast Club to listen to.

We enjoyed our trip to New Orleans with you, John and the KLBB listeners. You and John helped make the trip so enjoyable. Anyone who saw the two of you together could see how much in love you were.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May the good memories carry you through this difficult time.

With deepest sympathy, Jack and Sue Cwik

Pam & Family,

I never met John, however I did get to see you two on the TPT fund raisers. John and you were my only company on my drive to work. I will miss my "traffic guy" a lot. You two gave me many smiles, and out right laughter while I sat in traffic on hyw 169.

Pam, you are in my prayers. I hope to hear the smiles in your voice again soon.

Dear Family:

My deepest sympathies on the loss of John. I went to school with him in the early years and always had a bit of a crush on those dimples of his! It was fun to watch him become a bit famous here in the twin cities on tv and radio.

Hold tight to your memories as you mourn his passing out of this world.

Pam and Family,

I wish to express to you and your family my deepest sympathy for your loss. I have been listening to you and your husband, John, on KLBB on the morning show since you started. It was always a pleasure hearing the both of you in the morning. It made the day start off good when you had a good laugh before going to work. It was fun hearing you banter back and forth. John will be missed. I will remember him and your family in my prayers. May God keep him safe in Heaven!

Jan Englund

August 17, 2005

I just wanted to let all of John's family know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I graduated with John from Minnehaha and he always treated everyone with compassion and humor. As I have seen him over the years, and especially as he touched many lives through radio, he continued to show those same traits. I am sure the loss is immense to you, the family. The great consolation is that he is walking streets of gold. We from the Minnehaha class of '71 will greatly miss him.

Anita DeMars

August 17, 2005

Pam & family,

I was shocked when I heard the news of John's sudden passing yesterday. I so enjoyed your voices on the radio. You made people realize there are good marriages in this world.

August 17, 2005

Dear family,

We did not know John personally but were priviledged to hear him so frequently on KTIS. We were honored to be able to hear him share his faith, his struggles at times and his strong faith in our Lord. God blessed us many times through his willingness to be such a conduit.His humor with Pastor Jon and Chuck brightened many mornings. Our deepest sympathy in your loss. You are in our prayers.

Suzi Klein

August 17, 2005

My family sends it deepest sympathy to you and your family. John was a wonderful man that touch many people. John was one of those people who touch so many people that he did not even know. Even with his struggles with illness he was always basking in the light of the Lords Glory. He was a great insperation to me. When I heard of his passing I was greatly saddened but also know that God welcomed him to the streets of gold with open arms. Keep the grace of God close to you in these difficult time and he will always be there for you to lean on.

God Bless you all.

Pam and all of John's family,

I am so terribly sorry for the loss of this wonderful, kind man. Having known John as a voice in my car for so many years, I had the honor of meeting him last year at our annual picnic. I am so glad I had that opportunity to meet the both of you, Pam. John left me that day with a giant bear hug. I'll never forget how he grabbed the microphone that day and urged people to dig deep and give something for these homeless animals - something he was passionate about.

God bless all of you, and please know that many, many people share your loss. We will be thinking of all of you, including Gidget, Gomer and Reagan in the days to come.

Dear Pam,

I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Though we've not met, I've felt as though you and John were my neighbors and friends. My heart aches for you and your family. Now more than ever, just one word.... Roseville.

Bob Wahlund Class of 1971

August 17, 2005

I graduated with John in 1971 along with 170 others. Although speaking for myself, Im sure that our entire class mourns the early passing of our classmate. Since graduating I ran into John on a regular basis in the delivery business over the years and he has always exuded the qualities of kindness and decency, the same as when he was in in the public spotlight all these years..We chatted as if we had only chatted yesterday. Im sure God loves you John...I know we all did too.

Dali & Terry

August 16, 2005

Dear Pam and family,

The news of John's passing has reached us--say it ain't so! But even through our tears, we find it impossible to think of John without smiling.

We first met John Lunchpail in the '80s, the perfect sidekick to John Hines and Bob Bergland on 'LOL. Oh, John could tell a story or a joke! How 'bout his hilarious real-life tale that ended with the punchline, "Things aren't so groovy now, are they, Mr. Hepcat?". We remember being turned away by a snooty host at Binion's Horseshoe Steakhouse in Las Vegas until John suavely greased the host's palm without breaking eye contact while arching an eyebrow and cooing, "Might you have something by the window for Mr. Hamilton and party?" John had range: as I recall, his favorite Vegas restaurant visited that trip was Fattburger, right? And surely Alfred Hitchcock never had a more devoted fan.

Dear Pam and family, may you find comfort in knowing that the essence of John's big spirit lives on in our hearts and memories.

Love,

Dali & Terry

This past weekend I listened to John's Honey Do program on Saturday afternoon and then watched him and Pam on the TPT drive on Saturday evening. Then as I was listening to the news on WCCO radio in the middle of the night on Sunday night I heard of John's very untimely death. I just couldn't believe it and hardly slept the rest of the night. I will definitely miss his positive attitude that came across loud and clear every time he was on the air.

August 16, 2005

Dear Pam & family, I am still in shock after hearing this terrible news. I have listened to John over the years on various radio stations and watched him from time to time on Channel 2. I noted his weight loss in a recent picture on KLBB's website and found out that he had had gastric bypass surgery. There he sits with that wonderful smile and his best catch of his life right behind him, Pam. He was like a comfortable slipper you always looked forward to stepping into each time you turned on AM 1400 - although no one will ever fill his shoes in my book. He made the drive to work a more pleasant experience and believe it or not, sometimes I went under the "speed limit" just so I could hear more "banter" between such a stunningly happily married couple every day on the air. God, we'll miss him. Give him a comfortable spot in heaven please. He deserves it. God Bless the Lundell family at this time.

Kathy (Beneke)Wiitala

August 16, 2005

Pam, My heart and Prays go out to you. Never got to know John, but Pam your Mother has told me what a wonderful Husband and friend you had. My father sends his prays to you also. Keep your faith is God and he will help and support you in this time of grief.

Dear Pam and the entire Lundell family...

My heartfelt sympathies go out to all of you. John was not only a blessing to his family, he was loved by all who knew him and enjoyed in his life's pleasures. John made us laugh and smile all the time, whether it be in person or on the radio. You could tell his love for his family and work were the most important things to him. His spirit, kindness and warmth will be remembered always. G-d bless you.

Dan Hinrichs

So sorry to hear of the death of John. I didn't know him or your family, but my heart and comfort go out to you and your family. I have heard him on KTIS, and feel like I know him through his voice. My brother was killed a few months ago (age 54) in a car accident, and my family and I know the pain of such a sudden loss to such a young person.

God Bless you and please know many are with you during this time.

Pam and family:

I was truly saddened to hear that John had passed away. Even though I was alone in my car, I let out an audible "oh no" when I heard the announcement. I am a faithful listener of the KLBB morning show. Anyone listening could hear the love and respect you had for each other as well as the pure joy you felt while in the broadcast booth.

The Minneapolis listening audience has lost a wonderful radio personality.

My condolences to you and your family.

My sincere sympathy and deep condolences to Pam and the Lundell family on John's passing. I've enjoyed listening to Pam and John on the KLBB Breakfast Club every morning for years. Thank you too, John, for the traffic reports--even though I didn't commute far, I always appreciated learning from you where not to go.

There's a traffic jam now at the Pearly Gates in your honor--no backroads around this one, sir! We'll miss you.

As a new member of Faith Presbyterian I didn't know John as well as many members, but as his passing was announced and told one member to another a profound sadness was felt. I could tell how much he was loved by all. May the love and strength of God be with you and protect you and your family

I listened to KLBB quite frequently in the morning on my way to work and was so sad to hear the news because I enjoyed the way John and Pam bantered back and forth. I will miss hearing him on the radio.

Pam, my prayers are with you and your family.

I am just "one" of your multitude of friends who loved to listen to your patter with Pam every morning in my kitchen. In death, one wonders "why" particularly when it is so untimely and we are left with with no answer but an empty feeling.

I always enjoyed hearing John do the traffic on KTIS and was sorry when his stint with Metro Traffic ended. He always sounded to positive and faith filled! My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

I was just a listener and my wife loved John and Pam's current show. I just wanted to write and say I was saddened to hear of John's death. I remember hearing his voice through the years and he will be missed. Also heard of his Christian testimony and am thankful to know he is with the Lord. Prayers with Pam and the family...

To the family and friends of John Lundell.

I just had to send an expression of sympathy and a comment on my high regard and respect for this man you knew and loved personally. I only knew him as a radio personality/traffic reporter on KTIS. What a blessing he was! He was an articulate spokesperson of his faith in the Lord, as well as doing an excellent job as a traffic reporter. I appreciated, too, his quick wit and wonderful personality. I was so sorry to hear he had passed. He is now "dancing with the angels," as a KTIS song says. God bless you and keep you in His grace as you grieve.

My girls and I would listen to John and Sue Falls in the morning and we loved to hear him. We had gone to Grand Old Days to meet them both and he was great. I just loved listening to him talk he had a great voice. I have missed him a lot, I had always hoped he would come back to the radio but that was never to be. My sincere condolences on Johns passing.

To Pam and family,

Please accept my condolences. As a long time listener of KLBB and other venues that John's voice and presence graced, I and many others will miss his voice and humor very much. Please know that thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Let the knowledge that John was a cornerstone of many people's daily lives bouy you up during this time of grief. He will be missed.
