    I don’t remember what class John and I shared our Freshman year, but I do remember his kindness toward me. I had just transferred in, and John somehow reached out to me. It meant a lot. My condolences to you all.

    We met John twice at the Waltons reunion in Virginia. He was a very nice person and a real Walton fan. We both feel very sad to hear of his passing. Our deepest condolences to his daughters, his mother and family. John, we will never forget you.

    My heart is broken over your loss. John has been a good, dear friend to me for years now and i can’t imagine not being able to pick up the phone and call and talk. We have been through one heck of a journey together recently and those conversations have been so important. My wish for the family is peace and comfort knowing his pain has ended. But oh how i miss my dear friend. Our lives were enriched by his presence.

    Aliza, You were Blessed to have John as your dad and He to have you as a daughter. He was such a sweet and gentle guy. We had so much fun in Virginia and California. So many laughs. You, your family and John are in my prayers daily. I feel blessed to have known him even if it were a short time.
