John was a friend of recent years. He was kind, gentle, and loved people. He could spin a tale in his cajun accent that could make you grin, laugh, giggle and smile. He befriended my brother, Jeral and myself. We will be forever blessed for sharing the path of friendship he gave to us. John gave people unconditional love and asked for nothing in return. His family and friends, especially Scott Medine and Scott's parents have our sincerest sympathy.

I knew John when I worked at EKLMC and he was a resident. He was always such a jolly person with a smile for everyone and time to stop and share a few words. I know how sick he has been and also how Scott has been such a faithful friend.May his soul rest in peace.
