John, where do I start. There is so much about you to say. You were one of my very best good friends, You had a good sense of humor, you were very friendly, you were a great cook, most of all you were a man of God. You really inspired me and showed me good ways to get closer to God. I really learned a lot from you.
It is devastating and heart breaking that you are gone. Its sad to admit this but sometimes you don't realize how important somebody is to you and that the are really a part pf you until they're gone. It really feels like part of me is missing since you left. I am gonna miss all the good moments we had together. I remember when I met you through our best friend Lonnie. Since then we had a a lot of good times. I remember how we used to always hang out and have conversations about a lot of things. I remember all our group outings, get together s that I always invited you to. I also remember all the 3 way and 4 way phone conversations we used to have at nights and you always used to joke around and make us laugh, you were really a funny guy. Another good thing about you, you had a good way of talking to people, you were so friendly to everybody. You had no enemy's. There is so much I have to say but I don't want to keep this too long. I was glad that I had the pleasure of meeting your 3 brothers I remember the day you introduced me to them. They are really great people.

To all 3 of your brothers Manny, Phillip and Marc, your sister Naomi and to the rest of the family. May peace be with you all and I send my condolence to all of you and I am sorry for the lost of our loved one 

RIP John, I love you and miss you, you are now and will always be a good friend

In loving memory of my Very best good friend.

The world didn't stop when my friend died today. But my world did. I feel as though i'm missing something, like apart of me. What makes it worse, intensifies this roller-coaster of emotion is my new found compassion towards life. I feel powerless. My wounds of guilt are seemingly tender/have become fresh once again. Now becoming infected with wonders.
	He saved me/he actually, literally saved my life some years ago. Could i have saved him? Why did i let my behavior disrupt what you've given me. Its like having a loved one trapped/surrounded by flames or the likes of danger and not being able to come to their distress/rescue. 
	Here i am now at this very instance/moment typing on this seemingly pointless materialistic laptop. Frustratingly Putting my open wide-awakened conscious thoughts down as if it measures to some importance of matter/as though your worldly essence would miraculously spring again. So trapped i feel, so confined in this body, in this mind i mind every moment of everyday. He's got a clutch around my HArt, and he wont let go. The problem with truth for me in this case is that you can't deny it, wants you've realized it thus know it. [2011/Mon.03/Oct/5:25pm]

It seems as though after the despair i endured yesterday evening. Such a dream as this has occurred. 
	On the 4th of October, sometime after my friend came home in the morning from an early depart from work. I dreamed much, but remembered little, but do at least certainly remember there being a table with i my self, John, and two other friends of us, if i could recall correctly. 
	And John got up at some point, i was standing or got up as well, and i remember the instant that we looked at each other. Me remembering feeling his radiant warm, genuine, sincere smile as we hugged each other, almost as though he was translating to me that he's now well informed, and knew/felt my true intentions thus letting bygones be bygones, and also letting me know that everything is ok with him self. That is what i felt from his radiant smile he was filling me with as we hugged each other for some moments.
 Also while we were embracing/hugging each other i had felt it was as though his energies of focus were fixed on further delivering the translation of peace/reassurance to me. The back ground seemed faded black, i didn't acknowledge anything, but the message i felt i was gifted with by my friend, John. I want to Believe this is so, so i will, and thank you John. 
 I hope you've moved on to what ever is in order for you. I believe mine, and everyone else's thoughts, and feeling towards you are channeled to you for as long as you're capable of receiving such. So I believe you already know how i truly feel. I believe you are now back with the process of the infinities/nature, and am on the side of all that is genuinely just. 
	Well John i love you for who you were here (putting aside our differences), and for what your infinite essence will always truly represent. Thanks John, for being apart of who i've become, and molding to be.

My name is Tristan Lavine and I had known John since I was 12 . We have been friends ever since and close friends as close as family. He was a friend who I could talk to about anything and shared all my same interest. When he still lived in Brooklyn we would hang out almost everyday and when he moved to Cali it was hard to keep in touch even though I knew he was sick. However John had a spirit and will made out of steel so I never worried about him too much. Now that he is gone I feel as though this pain I feel is as if something was cut out of me and now I am left with this empty feeling. I have many friends but John you was the most genuine out of them all. So my fellow Jesus freak, Naruto freak, game freak and to my brother ,GOODNIGHT AND TRAVEL WELL! You didn't leave a hole in me my friend you left a void , but a part of my whispers this is not goodbye just not see you anytime soon. To the family of John I have never had the pleasure of meeting you guys other then John's sweet late mother but you have my deepest condolence. If i feel this horrible I can't and don't wake to imagine what you guys are going through. But be strong when you have to be and comfort each other in other times. God Bless You All and my he take care of John now . Till we meet again in paradise my friend .
