I will always remember John as a gentleman and a friend. He was a frank, no-nonsense person that told it like it was and expected the same in return. I hate to see him leave this earth, but know he will be in the hearts of so many as he moves on to heaven.

I am deeply saddened to hear about John's passing. We were classmates throughout our 4 years at Bishop Ryan High School. I will keep him in my prayers - may his soul rest in peace.
With sympathy to John's family and friends.

I was saddened to hear about the loss of John through the alumni association. He was a classmate of mine for 4 years at Ryan HS. I too am a Vietnam Vet and I want to thank you and your family for his
service to our country. He will be sorely
missed by many. I remember all the memories of our days in High School and
truly believe his good deeds will not go unnoticed. God Bless all of you and please accept my deepest condolences.
With deepest sympathy,
Peter J. Szemenciak
