Very sorry to hear this. He was an incredible man, and did so much for so many…even us. God speed and fly high John.
Uncle John will be missed so much by his family and many friends. Sending love and hugs to his children.
Sometimes words aren’t adequate to express our feelings at times like these. John was a good friend. He told it like it is. I always respected him for that. RIP, John.
John….or as Russ and the boys lovingly called you “the Old Snappin’ Turtle”, you will be sadly missed. You always had a kind word for me whenever I saw you. I will never forget you and your smile.
Thoughts and prayers with the family. John was such a blessing to so many people. Myself included..
My deepest condolences from Maui. Grieve the loss, but cherish the memories forever. `A`ohe loa i ka hana a ke aloha – (Distance is ignored by love.)

There are no words to express how heartbroken We are to see you passed away. If I had to write about all that you mean to us we’d be here all day.
I remember the tears, I remember the laughter.
I remember the midnight phone call when my Dad died just so that I had someone who wanted to listen.

He was a good friend, “taught me that God doesn’t make junk.”
