I will miss my Uncle John dearly. He was such a positive, fun-loving man. Even at his sickest he was still making us laugh. The last words he was able to mutter to me were “don’t be afraid”. My heart breaks for those of us left behind, but rejoices in the new body and freedom he has now- I love you Uncle John.
Nina, John touched so many with his kindness and joyful heart .His light will continue to shine through all that were blessed to know him.. The beautiful memories I have of you two will forever bring a smile to my face. I will celebrate those beautiful times.
He is well now…sending much love to you and heartfelt condolences to all your family.

Nina,
I’m sending condolences to you and the family during this time of loss. Please let me know if I can help you in any way.
John had a big impact on my life in the last few years. His love of the Lord was infectious. I learned a lot from his example and his shared wisdom. His voice and his presence will be missed by many. But I know (as did he) that he is in paradise and no longer suffering.
Nina
