To John's dear family I must say I miss John every day. He brought such joy into my own life: when I thought there was no more fun left, he would call and off we would go to dinner and a musical at the Goodspeed Opera House. He catered to my needs and never focused attention on himself. I knew he was extra special when he cared for his diabetic cat so gently and lovingly. How many men would do that?

I knew John from working at Eli LIlly. He always managed to stop in and say hi to us in Customer Service. He was a warm and wonderful person. May he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy goes out to all the family. Although I never knew you personally, John shared great stories of you with me. He generously treated me to trips to the Goodspeed and Long Wharf theaters as well as a few UCONN football games, and he is one of the few men I know who truly loved and appreciated the finer points of the feline species. The world has lost a special soul who will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Korey, Andy, and Tim, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I will always have such fond memories of hanging out with all of you at your Dad's places in Simsbury! Please know I am thinking of all of you and your families at this time. Marnie

Dear Family, I would like to send my condolences. It can be extremely difficult to lose a loved one. That is why I wanted to share the hope found in the bible, the hope of the resurrection. Jesus stated at John 5:28,29 "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will come out." And at Revelation 21:3,4 it states that there will be a time when "...death will be no more." These scriptures give us hope for the future as respects to our dead loved ones. Those scriptures have brought comfort to me and I hope it does the same for your family. With Love, Loren
