Mahalo Akua for this man and his gift to me and so many others. I will always be grateful for him in my life and will bring him into remembrance in my home group tomorrow morning. Hold him close and warmly and whisper "Thank you so much" into his ear for me. (((((John)))))
No more earthly suffering for our recovery brother. Safely wrapped in the arms of HP, he leaves a path to peace for many here in cyberspace. It won't be the same without you J.
Rest well. Xxx Ed.
I am so surprised that John is gone! I new he was sick but I thought he was too young to die.
I am sad, a life too short, he did so much good. I guess all I can do is pray. I don't really know what his illness was all about. He was a hero for sure. God Bless you John, I hope to see you someday.
My heart is heavy to hear such sad news. May you be embraced with Open Arms and Receive the Wings you so rightly deserve, John. May you be met with dragonflies to guide you to peace, comfort and serenity. ~!~

Rest in Peace John - I too am grateful for what you built for us and all the recovery/ESH shared! You will be gone in body, but never forgotten. Prayers for family/friends and all here - his spiritual journey continues...

Rest in Peace dear John - thanks for giving me my life back! My heart has joined the thousand, for my friend stopped running today!

God bless him for the vision he had in starting this board. It has been a beacon of light in some of my darkest hours and I will be forever grateful. Rest in peace John.
