    This comes as a shock to me. Although I know that John will be welcomed by the Lord. He was a good friend and co worker. I will always remember his kindness and caring.
    This world has lost a great man, but heaven has received a wonderful soul. Rest in peace my friend.

    My condolences go out to John’s entire family, especially Evan and Austin. I was fortunate to work with, learn from, and get to know John through scouting at St. Rita’s Troop 163. Many scouts, now young men, benefitted from John’s tenure as Scoutmaster. They witnessed John’s solid example of living the Scout Law and Scout Oath at camp, in a canoe, at Retreats, in front of a stove, around the campfire, and at program. I am thankful for my time with him in T-163. May God Bless!

    I send sincere condolences to John’s family. Though I did not have the privilege of knowing him, I love his sister and her family and am so thankful that he knew Jesus Christ as his Savior.

    Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.” John 11:25 ESV

    May this hope bring you much comfort.

    I met John as his mother was dying at the Isaiah House. It was a hard time for him. As we took care of his mom he decided he was going to take care of all of us. He put so much love into every meal he prepared. He was generous, kind, thoughtful, and always ready for a hug. The time he and his family spent in our home was short but memorable. I hope Barb his beautiful sister and his children find comfort in knowing John lived his life loving, and he left this world loved.

    John and husband and I became friends when we bought our cottage at Sunset Beach. My husband passed away 18 months ago and John would call me every few days to see if I was okay. I found out I had cancer and he called me at Roswell every day to check on me and talk about his love for his church. He was an amazing man that will be missed my so many. RIP MY FRIEND

    I met John when we bought our cottage at Sunset Beach. He was being a true friend and watched our property all year long. When my husband passed away John would call me a couple times a week to check on me. He loved his church and cooking for the members. He will be greatly missed by so many. RIP friend.

    Ah! Sábios pescadores!Vivemos num país de “patos bravos”. Não imagina quão gozado fui quando, há uns tempos, me dirigi a uma loja de costura no centro comercial. Queria virar a gola de uma camisa, camisa essa que, por acaso, tem para mim valor afectivo. As costureiras fartaram-se de rir.
