“My heartfelt condolences to the McCann family. I consider myself very fortunate to have had the pleasure of working with John for many years at the FDA and consider him a true friend. We've shared some memorable times fishing, golfing, and hanging out at his North End apartment in Boston. John was very close to mastering the Jamaican "Patois" language. John would greet me by saying, "wah a gwaan massive"? Translated, what's up my good friend. John, may you rest in peace my massive.”

“I’m so sorry to hear this news. I knew John back in the early 90s when we worked together at the FDA lab and later at the District office. He was a sweet, fun, intelligent guy. I always appreciated his sense of fashion, especially his stylish bow ties. My deepest sympathy to all who will mourn his loss.”

“It was shocking and heart wrenching to hear of John's passing. We became friends working at FDA and shared many laughs, beers, and rounds of golf, including a memorable golf trip to Maine. John was brilliant, diligent, funny, loyal and oh so stylish. He was a just a solid man. I deeply regret losing touch since our jobs took us to different places. My deepest sympathy to Tristan, his kids, Justin and to all who loved him.”
