He was wonderful. No words can express the loss. A favorite quote is "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die."  I am so sorry for the family.

Very sorry for your loss. John had a zest for life that was infectious and he showed in kindness in every way to others. 

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this extremely difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to John's family.  I went through school with his sister Betty. They were all very kind and always smiling.

Blessing to all that he loved and all that loved him. Wish he was still here.

Sending sincere condolences to the entire Vivit family.  I have known John since our days at Curtis and Buchser and the recent years with the reunion at Central Park.  He was a very special person and his posts on FB gave all of us special thoughts and music from our years past.  RIP Dear John.

My prayers go out to John's family and friends. He will be deeply missed. I have known him since the 6th grade and over the years have re-connected with him at St. Justin's, Curtis yearly dinners with Mrs. Chapin, Buchser Class Reunions, and picnics, as well sitting with him at his son's graduation from Santa Clara. He was always a gentleman and a warm and loving friend. He was so proud of his children. He will be missed by so many friends! I will always remember his wonderful smile.  May he rest in eternal peace in the loving arms of God.

John and I played soccer together and competed for the same position.  He was a great competitor, always smiling and pushing others to be better. We also enjoyed times on the tennis courts together.  He was a great friend.  My only regret is not getting the chance to meet up with him at the reunions.  My heart and prayers  go out to his family and friends.  We will meet again someday John in a much better place.

John and I lived a block from each other and went to school together.  We shared a lot of laughs growing up as we rode bikes, played sports, and shared meals. He always was upbeat and showed compassion for anybody with which he interacted.  I would see him at the Buchser reunions, and he still had the same personality being vibrant, caring, and happy.

John was a wonderful man and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the Vivit family and all of his friends on the west coast. I will light a candle  for John at St. Theresa's on Sunday.

My most sincere condolences and love to the family of my cousin John...The Lord said "Blessed are those who mourn , for they will be comforted." Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ , the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort , who comfort us in all troubles.Godbless You.

Dear Vivit family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.  John was a wonderful man and much loved...he will be missed. God bless.

I am his cousin , the daughter of the late Camilo Suero. I'm the same age as John was. I'm going to miss him very much.

dear vivit family i'm sorry for your loss.  john was always a ray of sunshine, and may he rest in peace....i'm glad that i got to know him on fb.  i met uncle dave , (my dads cousin) while visiting the philippines in 1975.

John was a one of those people you were always happy to hear from because he had such a big, caring heart. His lively spirit, kindness and generosity will be missed by everyone who knew him.
Wishing his family peace and strength in this difficult time.
Rest In Peace

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Vivit Family at this difficult time.  I went to school with John all through to high school and reconnected with him on Facebook.  RIP John you will never be forgotten.

John was well acquainted with struggle, but you never knew it.  He carried the Light and Love of Christ to all he met and now He has met His Heavenly Father -- face to face, as one day each one of us will do.  Since I heard the news I have had beautiful memories of his smiling face, milling through the reunion crowd, making memories for us all with his camera.  He will remain with us in our hearts and minds until we meet again at our true home with Jesus.  May Our Lord's Peace fill the hearts and minds of his children and his family during this time of deep sorrow.

Grace, I'm so sorry to learn about John's passing. I knew him only briefly as a guest in my home for a Chinese banquet with his sister and friends through a Mission College donation. I remember his friendly, cheerful, fun-loving nature. RIP, John.

Deanna and Family,

John was a true friend and a gentle, loving man. We are all blessed to know him and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My friend, John.  You were such an inspiration in the last 10 or so years; encouraging me to attend our Buchser High reunions and the many Curtis Jr. Hi dinners we've attended.  John was a bridge to all the classmates that I lost touch with or did not even consider socializing with. He had all the info to connect us all back together...gave me insight to our years at Pomeroy, Curtis and Buchser Hi.  I admired his love of family and friends, loyalty and honesty...I will truly miss your kind eyes, bright smile and spirit.  May you rest in peace and continue to spread your joy to all of us left behind.

Our Dearest John,
Although you have been called home way too premature, the light your life provided to all who love and respect you will shine on for infinity. There are few that are chosen as leaders and prophets, as you shared many of your life experiences, you are truly one. As you carry on my friend, please keep all of us in your daily thoughts until we meet again. With love and gratitude to a fine, compassionate friend. You will always be in our hearts. 
Teri Bartkowski-Langworthy

My condolences to the Vivit family.  He was part of the Zilog gang and we sure had a lot of fun times.

To the Vivit family, a loss like this is so incredibly painful and tragic. John brought all of us so many smiles and always shared his generosity of spirit. All our lives were blessed by having John with us on this journey. 

Blessings to all of you in this time of great sorrow.

I have a Kindergarten picture of me and John in the same class at Millikin.  I'm not sure when he went to Pomeroy.  Then to Buchser and even one year at West Valley College.  I'm glad John reached out to me through Facebook and again reminded me of what a great and caring person he is.  I say is because I believe his Spirit lives on at different levels one of which is the great influence for good he was and is in my life.

You are so loved and missed, you will forever be in our hearts and our memories..God bless John Vivit, RIP

He was already a loving man when I was a senior and he was a freshman. I am so sorry for your loss.

John. You and your famous smile will be deeply missed. God speed.

John was such a giving soul. He exemplifies what is best in all of us: loving, selfless, proud of his family, and humbled to God. Anyone who ever met John was impressed with what a fine, honorable man he was.

My most sincere condolences to the Vivit family. I went to school with John at Pomeroy, Curtis and Buchser. The last 5 years I've gone to the class reunions and the Christmas dinners. What a pleasure it was to spend time with John. A nicer or warmer person from our class you could not find. We shall miss you dreadfully. Rest in peace my dear friend.

My heart goes out to the family. Keep in mind, "TO LIVE IN HEARTS WE LEAVE BEHIND IS NOT TO DIE."

I am sending my deepest condolences and love to John's family. John was pure love in everything he did and everything he was. He will be missed so very much by so many people. The love he gave to all of us will continue on.

Dearest Vivit Family, May God Bless You, And  Know That John Is With The Good Lord Jesus Christ, John Was A Kind, Caring Person To All Who Knew Him,I Know My Life Was Richer, For Having John In It, John Will Always Be In My Heart, A Man That Will Never Be Forgotten By Us, And When We Look Up 
To The Heavens, John's Bigger Than Life Smile Will Always Shine Down, Upon All Of Us!!!

After my sister's death, John shared a memory he had of her in high school that helped lift my spirits tremendously. He probably never realized what a comfort his words were to me.  Healing thoughts to all who loved him.

Gone but not forgotten.  The Lord be with you John.  "Dancing in the Sky"  RIP my friend.

May God bless you and your family. May He hold you in the comfort of His arms and give you the strength to endure.

I was so shocked when I heard of your passing.  You have always been a very nice person and so thoughtful to all of your friends and family.  You are the one who told me about Jan Fricke Hittman passing away 2 1/2 years ago.  I didn't believe you at first because I felt it was unimaginable!  However, it happened.  Now you have also passed away.... waaaaaay too young!  You will be missed by me and by many.  :(

John was the most considerate, loyal friend one could ever ask for..not only spiritually but sincere, kind and loving.. I shall miss this great man tremendously.. My loving thoughts to his family and friends!

John. Loved by so many. Missed by so many. Now in the arms of a loving God. Sending prayers of peace to your family.

Sincere condolences and prayers for all the Vivit family.  This candle shines brightly in his honor.  God bless.

RIP John. Peace and strength to your family, loved ones and friends

Dear Vivit Family;
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

David and I send our condolences and deepest sympathies. John was so much a part of why we so enjoyed the reunions in the park. In addition to his ability to make everyone smile he was so helpful, so willing to assist anyone with their needs. He will be missed but we know that he has finally arrived at his true home and now Heaven gets to share in and enjoy all his favorite music and his stories of travel and especially his food recipes. Love, Peace, and Happiness Mr John.
