John was one of a group of FISH volunteers who so often answered requests for rides to Boston for medical appointments. His kindness and compassion were such endearing qualities.

John was one of the strongest pillars of the Wayland community. His outpouring of kindnesses to so many will always be remembered by me.

Dear Mary and family,
I just heard today that John had died, when the ALPA magazine arrived with the pilot obituaries,
and I want to express my sympathy for your loss.
You may recall that John and I were classmates in
Navy pre-flight for about 4 months, then we both
flew for TWA for over thirty years. In both of those instances John was loved by everyone he came in contact with. My wife Beth even suggested that I call John just this last winter, but I never could contact him, to tell him that our friend Ed Stuart had died. It is interesting that I also have had Multiple Myaloma for a year and a half, but they got it early so I am doing OK. So please accept my
sympathy for your loss. John was one of the really good guys.

To the members of the Antes family:
I was saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Antes. I only met him once on May 31,1986 (the day I married the former Pamela Corbin). Although I only met him once, he left a lasting impression. I could see his kindness in just one meeting. I knew my wife was truly blessed to have you as her Host Family during high school.
Over the years I have heard many fond stories from wife and feel as if you were always part of my life. I have asked of everyone in your family often and continually keep you in my prayers.
God has now called him from labor to his eternal reward. You may have loved him, but God loved him best!

John was a such a great person and will be very missed by all that knew him. His service to his community, church and family is his legacy - the legacy of a wonderful loving Christian man. The best footprints to leave on this earth are the memories that one leaves in those around them; John left many and will always be remembered.

To the Members of the Antes Family:
I was very saddened to learn of John's untimely passing, and take this opportunity to extend my deep and sincere condolences on your loss.
I knew John, not only as a resident of Wayland, but also through the amateur radio fraternity. He is and was always a perfect gentleman, and was also active in several community activities. I always enjoyed chatting with Him, and will miss our conversations, be they in person or via Ham Radio.
Again, please accept my condolences, and may you find the strength to guide you through this difficult time.

There aren't many nowadays of whom you can say, He was a true gentleman and John was, in every sense of the word. John and Mary have been, for many years, ardent and gracious supporters of our organization (as they have supported so many people in our town). Please allow me to express the gratitude and condolences from the Vokes membership and add my personal sense of loss.
I will treasure the memories.

So many fabulous memories with the Antes'! My favorites are taking the canoe across Lake Cochituate, and tipping it over behind the island. Also remember many summer lunches and having "Mr. Antes" tell wonderful stories. So sad! Love to Mary, Susan and David!

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of John. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure when it fills your heart with love and brings you joy. May you find comfort in Jesus promise of the hope of everlasting life on earth at John 6:40.

I will always remember John for his many kindnesses to others. I recall calling him for FISH clients on many occasions. He would often alter his plans in order to take someone to one of the Boston hospitals. My sincere condolences to Mary, his children and grandson. May he rest in peace!

I will always remember John for his love and devotion to Mary. I enjoyed their company on numerous luncheons where we would tell stories about families and each other. He lived life fully and with real warmth and humanity. I will miss him. Unbeknownst to him, he was a role model for me on how to live a life well.
Mary, I am so sorry for your loss.
