Life isnt the same without you, there is always something reminding me of you, miss you forever. love your sister Susie

John-Old friends, they never die, sadly in our busy and changed lives we lose track of each other over the years and for that I'm truly sorry. I just learned of your passing to the far reaches of the universe - bless you and all the wonderful memrories we once shared at the Curtis Hotel and that fab week in San Francisco. You were never forgotten and never will be. Trust me, you are in a far better place than we are here. Happy trails my friend and say hi to Marilyn Monroe for me! One day I'll catch up with you again. Peace, Danny

To my uncle John... I remember when you lived with us when we lived in MPLS. One Easter when we were on our way up north, you had forgotten something upstairs when you came down we left. when we got home; the Easter bunny (you) had left a little white bird in a cage with a note that said...This is Mr. Peepers and he helps me deliver all of the white jelly beans please take care of him for me. Happy easter!The Easter Bunny. I'll never forget it. It was one of the happest days of my life and I'm glad it was spent with you. Thank You for all of the happy memories that I'll treasure always . I love and miss you!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We're going to miss you and your unconditional love and acceptance of us all. We hope you can see how many people you've touched in such a special way. The family will never be the same. You were truly one of the most fun and compassionate people we've ever had the chance to meet. Thank you for all you did for the us and the family. There is a big hole in all of our hearts that will never be filled. We love you and we'll see you at a later date brother.
