Dearest John, my heart goes out to you and your family. Now, thank God you are no longer suffering from that horrible disease, ALS, but Resting Peacefully In the Arms of Our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Your humor was UNMATCHABLE and every single time I ran into you in the halls of various court houses, you would have me laughing, till it hurt. Believe me, you will be sorely missed in those halls. John, though your laughter and joking will not be heard any longer, your memory will stay and your true friendship and your ‘type’ of love of the law will not be soon forgotten.
John, May You Forever Rest in Peace In Our Lord’s Arms.
Love You My Dear Friend and Will Forever Miss You, Till We Meet Again. RIP
How sad I am to hear this – too young. A good and special person I knew well when I was young. Deep condolences to the family. Rest In Peace.
