'May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. From the Fritz Graeber Family in Fort Bend County, Texas.'

'Hearing of John's passing was truly a shock, but knowing that he has entered a better place provides some comfort to the loss. Having been baptized under John later in life, says a lot of the influence that John had over me as a child. I was captivated with his teachings and actually enjoyed going to Church as a young boy during a time when your mind wonders. He helped guide me down the good road in life and provided inspiration for years to come. I enjoyed talking with him beyond the sanctuary where he told me stories of his rock collections (he had several geodes in his office), and gave me a tiger's eye that I still treasure to this day. Although I hadn't seen John in many many years, he was still in my thoughts and he will truly be missed. My thoughts will be with his family to find solace in knowing he will be with other loved ones who have also passed and looking down upon us all.'

'John's clear and simple teaching and interpertation of scripture have been invaluable to my spiritual growth. His gift was only made more the richer by his wonderful sense of humor. I shall miss him dearly.'

'I was sorry to read about John. He added a lot to my life of faith.'

'It was so sad to hear of John's passing this morning during our church service. My condolences go out to Janice and the rest of the family. I was honored to know John and serve as elder during his time at First Presbyterian Harlingen.'

'My deepest condolences and knowing that Heaven has received a wonderful being who was a blessing to all of us.'

'My prayers go out to the family for healing of the loss of a fine Soul. My friend and pastor has fulfilled his purpose admirably and has moved into God's Kingdom. I'm sure St. Peter received a unique presentation and my sympathies go out to the Angels Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, and others due to John's exuberant sense of humor. Truly Haven is enhanced by his presence and he continues to do God's work from there.'
