I did not know you well, but with my brief time spent with you and friends at the Red Carpet Lounge, you were always a gentleman and always had a kind word. Rest easy, John and know that your life was well lived and that you left an incredible mark in it.

My oldest friend. We always joked that we shared a playpen. I loved you, John. Rest in peace.

I am heartbroken to hear of Johns passing. Although we seldom crossed paths over our adult years, it was always a joy when we did. John was one of my closest friends as we grew up, with us even surviving Johns driving in his orange Beetle as we commuted to WVIT. I will miss his wit and his smile,
