John was one of a kind, Mr. Kiwanis.  Really supported the youth.  Glad I knew him.

When I first met John he told me many stories about the club and he encouraged me to run for a club officer it's so sad to hear about his passing

John was Kiwanis to many of us.  As a new Club President and later, a Lt. Governor, I consulted with him regularly.  He was one of the kindest, most hard-working men I know.  He will be missed by all who knew him.  Kathy Orrin, Taft Kiwanis

A sad day for Kiwanis and the communities he served.  Soft spoken and determined, John got the job done with compassion and unparalleled dedication.  He shall always be Mr. Kiwanis in the hearts and minds of many of us.

John was a great friend to my dad. After dad had to give up driving John was his ride to Kiwanis helping him keep up his perfect attendance record.

As one who worked side-by-side with John on a few Kiwanis district teams, he will be missed.  Always the gentleman....positive and smiling. A great Kiwanian!

John and I served as Lt. Governors together under Frank Taylor.  I remember John as empathetic, compassionate, and he had a great passion for Kiwanis. John was a great inspiration and source of knowledge.  I know his family and friends will miss him greatly.  I will keep them all in my prayers.
