Dear Carol and Family
We are heartbroken for you. John was a kind, sweet and generous man. He will be sorely missed.
I was lucky to know John for 20-plus years. He was such a special guy. He will be so missed by us all.
I feel fortunate to have known John. He was kind and considerate and his upbeat attitude always brightened my day. My deepest condolences to his whole family.
I worked with John at The Boston House for 4 years. He was such a warm and welcoming presence there, where families come in every day with all the stress in the world. He was dedicated to his work and made the house comfortable, homey, and safe for so many. He was the kind of person that just set you at ease, and made you feel comfortable. I was lucky to get to know John, and I wish the best for his extended family.
