Sending my condolences at this sad time. John will be greatly missed by our sister Jennifer and his family. May he Rest In Peace.
I was introduced to John several years ago by my sister Jennifer. He was warm and welcoming, easy going and kind. John had a love for live and was a deeply caring and considerate man. He will be cherished by all who knew him. God bless.
Rest in peace dear Johnny. My prayers to the family
I met John in 1970 when we began a loving relationship that continued for about 10 years. He will always hold a place in my heart. My condolences to his family.
