My condolences to his family and children. He was my first husband and a long time friend. Also the father of my first child. The world has lost a great guy and now he is jamming in heaven with my dad. RIP John. Much love.

I remember John when he was a infant and watched him grow up. Always a mild mannered person. Very likeable and kind. I think he was a true image of his mother. I hope to see them both in the promise resurrection right here on this earth.

My sympathy to you Henry. And Les and Rick. Also my heart goes out to Johns children. Loosing a parent at such an early age can be so devastating. May you all find comfort in each other. Also the Bible holds out a hope of a future resurrection of our loved ones..my thoughts and prayers are with you…Erma
