There will be many memories of John in our lives. He was always there for everyone who needed him. He taught us to respect one another. I enjoyed watching him eat the cheesecakes I made for him. Charlie always said that he was his buddy and he will miss him so much.



Tina and Kim felt that he was a very loving person and was always there for them. They will miss him so much.



We will all miss him greatly. He will be looking down on us and guide us always.
