Sheri Scary wrote a sympathy message

“John loved telling people that I grew up on his street when he would come in to the YMCA. He was always good for a smile, laugh and a hug. He would have coffee and walk and visit with friends. He had such an enormous heart, he cared for and supported others, sometimes without even knowing it. I miss him! My condolences to all those who loved him, especially Jeff, John and Justin”
