Dear Diane and Family, I am truly sorry for your loss. Though I did not know John very well I certainly had many glimpses of his sense of humour and the love for his family during all the hours Diane and I volunteered for the AGO. He will be missed by many. All our love from our family to yours. Fondly, Suzanne

I am sadden by hearing of the death of John. He was a bright, welcoming neighbor when I first arrived at Kennebunk Beach. I will miss his presence but his spirit of hospitality will welcome all who visit this beach paradise. I will be offering a prayer of thanksgiving for his life at worship next Sunday. If there is any thing I can do or offer to John's family at this time or in the future, please let me know. We will remember in him in prayer at Trinity Chapel, Kennebunk Beach when we open for the summer season at the end of June. +May the peace and promises of Christ be with you too as John rejoices in The Lord's Paradise prepared for him.

Dear Di, I have many fond memories of John, not the least of which was his love to dine way out east at the Italian restaurant he loved! I also remember with fondness the chats and eats at Kennebunk. I will miss a dear friend. Pete IrwinBEJ6y
