To John's family:
I'm so sorry for your loss. Prayers to all. If there is one thing that everyone knew about John, it was that he loved his family dearly.

To everyone:
I'm so sorry for all of us. John was a great mentor, teacher, storyteller, friend, and confidant. He brought fun, laughs, and intelligent conversations and news into our lives at every encounter. He will be greatly missed.
