He was truely a good friend, he would go out of his way to help anyone. This is a true loss to the many that loved him and he will always be in our hearts, never to be forgotten. May you rest happily now good friend.

We purchased our woodstove from him and he was very helpful with the problems that we encountered with it and just last week we were finally all set with it. My husband even called him and left a message on his cell phone last week that things were working out fine now with the woodstove and he thought it was strange that he did not hear back from John.
It is very sad to here of his passing. It is very sad to hear of this kind of tragedy and for it to happen to someone who went above and beyond to help others.
John will be in our thoughts and prayers.

The loss of this incredible man, a healer, a person who would give you anything to help, this is devastating to myself as well as a great many people. John, I hope you find peace in the summerlands, Blessed Be, I Love you.

I met John just after the New Year. We were looking for a new stove and I was sick of the other stove shops being so smugg. So I went to see John late one night. He was the kind of guy who stayed open past hours so I could talk about stoves and make an informed decision with-out the pressure of some other stores. I went their today to take another look, what I saw was very sad, a sign on the door saying He would return Friday and He was going to a funeral. On the door steps there was an array of beutiful flowers and a single rose on the door. It is very sad when a life is cut so short as his was, it is so true the good die young. I am thinking about the family John left behind, This letter is a testimant to just another life He touched for only a second.
May God bless you and John....

I don't know why or how, but John is gone. I have spent many an afternoon is discussions with John about spirituality and the many paths available. John was a spiritual and sensitive person. I found him to be generous with his time and non-judgemental in his world views. He was a catalyst for different groups and views joining hands not building walls. He was a friend on this spiritual plain and continues to be in spirit. I will never know what happened, but I pray for his spirit and Eva's comfort.
