Bonnie, Jen and Family,
We were so sorry to hear of John's death. When I told the kids, Connor responded, " such a sad thing to happen, he was always such a caring and personable individual, so sad he is gone, I still remember spending time with him at tournaments and how respectful he was of me even at my young age." I have fond memories of our travels together during the years of soccer. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this sad time.
Fondly,
Margaret Smith

Sorry to hear about John, Bonnie. What a shock. I can only imagine how hard it must be for you having to deal with being so close to John for most of your life and one day poof he's just not there anymore and you didn't even get to say good bye. All that's left is memories and a deep emptiness, but the memories are what will sustain you. It's normal to be sad during a time like this but I'm sure John would not want you to be too sad. Be joyous about what you had together. He will live on through your children and grandchildren. I wish you well!

Bonnie, Jen & Family,
I'm very sad to hear of John's death, a great loss to your family and to all those who knew John. Of course I think back on the soccer life that first brought us in touch, and with the great time cruising the Caribbean. I knew John as a warm, fun-loving man, and value the experiences we shared. I wish strength to you family as you come to terms with John's absence from this world.

Warmly,
Ben Franklin

Bonnie, Johnny and Jen. There really are no words that can express how sorry we are for your loss. John was an amazing man who always made everyone around him laugh. Everyone who knew him was blessed to have had his joy in their lives.
Bonnie, one of the best times we had was at the concert where you all got a bruise in the same spot from babysitting me. And Mike mentioned the chicken/burger sandwich John invented that night. You guys are incredible people who have a lot of support from your family and friends. Lean on us when you need to. We are all here for you and love you very much.
