I’m at a loss for words. This man and his work for others had such an impact. I would call his efforts life changing.
I will miss his optimism, joyful personality, his smile and the omnipresent twinkling in his eyes!
With his life he made a difference to everyone he touched!
Excited to see you on the other side John! Save a spot close to you for me will you?
My best to Johnfamily and wide circle of friends!

To John's family: Although I do not know you personally, I had the most fortunate oportunity to meet and get to know him at our prior annual ANA Grant review sessions in Washington, DC. Man, what a charasmatic fellow! I really enjoyed his friendship and camaraderie. At one session, he, myself and Sonny Hill were on a panel together. In addition to exhibiting our collaborative professionalism, we also had the privilege of showing each other our respective humorous sides. Please acept my deepest expression of condolences and support in this most difficult time for you.

So sorry to hear of John's passing. I too had the fortunate opportunity to meet and know him during our prior ANA grant review sessions. Man, what a charasmatic guy! Always had you laughing during our conversations. I recall that, at one session, he, myself and Sonny Hill from SD were on a panel together. Besides exhibiting out collective professionalism, we also shared our crazy stories, laughter and camaraderie. I am sure that it was that way with others at the sessions. Keep on 'herding them,' my friend...

John was a great friend. Talented, funny, caring, and loyal are just a few of his attributes. We had some really fun times in Washington DC at our ANA reviews. I will miss him. Love always my dear, dear friend.

My thoughts are with all of John’s family and dear friends! He was a great friend to my mom Julie and father, Charlie for many years! I can only imagine that my father, Charlie was up there waiting for John’s arrival and they greeted each other with smiles and similar Hawaiian shirt attire! Have fun up there guys! You will be missed by many John.
