Nichole, I miss your Dad everyday. We talked often and I miss his jokes, his ability to make people laugh, and his sincere concern in the midst of his own worries. His love of life and his laughter in this world was a gift. I still wait for my phone to ring to hear his voice. My deepest sympathy go to you and Michael.

I can say John was my best friend. He was always willing to help when needed, even if you didn't ask. Even though we were on opposite sides politically we never let it get in the way of our friendship. We talked almost everyday, my wife would joke that I talked to John more than her. You will be greatly missed.

I am so sad to hear about Jonathan's death. He was a 'gentle giant', a wonderful and kind human being. Always a kind word about anyone and everyone. You will be missed by many my friend.
