John was a wonderful, kind, funny, cranky old soul. Please, Christiane, and the rest of John’s family, accept my heartfelt condolences at this sad time. We can best honor John’s memory and wishes by remembering him happy and full of life.
John was my client when he worked at Network Solutions. I always enjoyed working with him and he made me laugh! He had such a good heart and am so sad to hear of his passing at such a young age. My thoughts go out his family and friends. Sincerely, Melissa Rowe
I am so sorry for your loss. John was a wonderful person and a terrific friend. May he find peace and happiness in his next journey.
Sorry to hear of John’s passing – I worked with John at NetSol and enjoyed his sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during these difficult times.
John was a great friend of mine throughout the years. We experienced many things together such as seeing the Rolling Stones, The Who and Paul McCartney. We went White Water rafting, camping and many other great things. We worked together off and on over a 12 year span. It is sad for a friend to depart at such a young age. I will always remember John for his humor. I was always the less mature one of the two of us and John, at times, would stoop himself to my level and those were the funniest times. He was a great soul. I will miss him and our conversations and my ribbing him about his beloved Redskins and other Washington based sports teams for whom he was a huge fan of. Although I don’t look forward to my time I DO look forward to seeing him when it is. My deepest condolences to you Chris.
