Regretably I was unable to attend the memorial and see you. I am glad Woody was able to make it and pay respects for us both. Healing takes time with all loss.
To Johns family, he was special to us too, and we feel for your loss.

Here's what I have so far:

We will always remember John's friendliness and kind heart. John always cared, from the moment he met a new person. Jay enjoyed reminiscing high school days, and John and I could always commiserate on our time in Florence. We will miss him and wish to let his family know that we knew what a special person he was.

I enjoyed working with John on several construction projects. He will be missed. Our thoughts and sympathies are with the family.

Dana,
I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you and your family.

Avery and I send our deepest sympathies. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

John was a wonderful person, he was good person to me as a subcontractor and although I have not spoken to him in some time now, I will always remember him as a great person. We are all here for a short time and John was a person that many of us will not forget. My God bless you and comfort you.

John was an organ donor. On Friday afternoon we were advised that at that time his organs and body had saved or improved over 50 peoples lives. Once again John has shown us a way and now I will become an organ donor. I'll always be proud to be John's father.

Our family thanks all of you for your support and love of our John.

Love, Dad

Sarah and I are grieved at your loss. We have such fond memories of him as a boy in our backyard----and as a young man and friend of our sons----and us.
Love, Sarah and Frank Boensch

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
