May God comfort your family at this sad time. We had lots of fun together and always enjoyed your company. Taking you out to fish for the first time was a memory I will never forget. You will be missed dear friend.

Johnny,

You were such a special person. You brought a smile to the face of every person you met. You loved life and people, and it showed in everything you did. We shared so many laughs at the luau party and the street fairs. You were never too busy to be a friend, no matter what anyone needed. You will be missed by all. Im so glad our paths crossed, I feel blessed to have known you. My sympathies to your family.

I will miss you, friend,

Johnny, I'll always remember your Abe Lincoln skit, and your witty view on life. Donald and I missed you very much over the past few years, and were very saddened to hear of your passing. We wish you well on your journey...

John was a very nice friend and co-worker. He gave me his Sony cd player, and his office plant which I named little John. John also gave me a very nice card that said I was like the sunshine. I will always remember John, and look forward to seeing him in the resurrection.
