Cindy, Melissa and Michelle,

My heart is breaking. John was one of my dearest and best friends. He loved you all deeply and always spoke of each of you every time we talked. I will miss him more than I can ever express. I was blessed by having him as a friend. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May God watch over all of you - I'm sure John will tell Him if He's not doing it well enough, however.

To John's family,
I am grieved by your loss and am lifting you all up in my prayers. I worked with John for nine years and would count him as one of my closest colleagues here at Bosch. He was quite a guy to have around and I will miss him greatly. May God grant you a peace that surpasses our own understanding. Scott Pihlaja
