A real loss to the stuttering community and of course to his family. It's 2024 and we think of him often.

Lisa and beautiful family,
May you be blessed and comforted today as you remember your wonderful husband/father.  
I remember John with joy and gratitude.  He was such a kind and helpful boss and mentor for me when I first moved to the DC area, fresh out of college.  I learned so much from him, and Martin and I are so grateful for your friendship.  
Blessings and peace to you all,
Jan (and Martin) 

Dear Lisa and Family,

We were so sorry to learn of John's passing.  Too much time has gone by since we've seen you all.

I have so many wonderful memories of working with John at ACCD so long ago.  He was my first boss when I moved to DC fresh out of college.  He was so patient.  I learned so much and we all had such fun.  

I was always touched by how lovingly he spoke about you all.  You  truly were his life and joy.  

May you be comforted by joyous memories of times shared, and the love and support of friends and family.

Blessings,
Martin and Jan

Dear Lisa, Faith & family, Brandon and Sean & Brenda,

My heart goes out to all of you, and my prayers lifted to The Lord, to give you comfort and peace during this very difficult time,  "A peace that surpacess all understanding" (Philippians 4:7)!

I find myself fortunate to know John and witness first hand how special John was to all of you, and you all to him. "You were his treasures and reason to live for" . I am thankful to have been his/your neighbour, a friend and later- his caregiver!

While we were together, we sang laud, played, laught, fought and we prayed together for each and everyone of you, because you were/are very special to John, to each-other and to The good Lord! 
May his soul rest in peace, and all of you may find the everlasting peace that is in Christ Jesus, during this difficult time. 
"He gives and He takes way"  - A song that I find comfort in time such as this.

Thinking of John's family at this difficult time.  As a person who stutters myself,  we shared experiences and ideas on how assistive technology can help.  I believe it was John who actually coined the term "Assistive Technology."  He was a gifted writer and an even better person who inspired those who  stutter, as well as those within the disability community, to be more.  I will miss you, my friend.

Happy days for three friends in Italy:

Mark, John and Chris.

Lisa, Sean, Faith and Brandon:

All the members of St Mary's Class of 1963 want you to know of our sadness at the death of John.  We have the strongest memories of how courageous, determined, generous and kind John was as our classmate.   We are so proud of the work he has done to help so many in our society and marvel at his writing skills and love for all of you.  Be sure that our thoughts, prayers and best wishes go out to you as you lay John to rest. 

Lisa and John's children have lost a loving husband and father.  I have lost a childhood friend.  We have all lost a human being who dedicated his life to the less abled.  What we will remember will be his optimism, his dedication, his perseverance.  He is in a better place.  He is finally home.
May he rest in peace,
Chris Manfre and family

Dad...I miss you! The boys and I hope you're watching us and hear us say "I love you,  Papa!" at bedtime. 

We were greatly saddened to learn that John had passed away. He was an inspiration to many people who stutter. May he rest in peace.
