Hard to believe it's been five years.  John you were a good friend, I miss you as I know many others and your family do too.

Remembering John this week.  Can't believe it's been four years.   Does not feel nearly that long.  Miss seeing him every few weeks.  John was a good friend, loved sharing stories with him.

John sure is missed.   My deepest condolences to all of Johns family and all of his friends.  I miss talking to him almost daily.  Usually about work and our pets and just about life.   I know John feels better now but I don't think he was quite ready to leave.  Sometimes we have no say.  I hope he is reunited with his parents and loved ones and his beloved bassett Boo Boo.  RIP John, we all miss you, even when you were grumpy and not feeling your best.

My deepest condolences to the Said family, especially my friend, Tom.  I know it was a long fought battle and that you were by his side. 
May the memories of John bring  you smiles and your heart be full of the brotherly loved you shared.

My heat an prayers go out to his  family  and friends. John and I were  Face Book   friends  and shared and  his journey with cancer.  My husband had been through the same exact   situation.  We also shared his life with his fur babies.  My thoughts and prayers are forever with him......Roberta

So sad to hear this.  Growing up in Farmington Hills, John was a great neighbor and childhood best friend.  One of my fondest memories of John was when we would sneak his mini bike (1969 Honda Z50 Minitrail - Candy Apple Red) out from his garage and ride for hours at North Farmington High School.  We would put the mini bike in a big washing machine box and push it across the street and out of sight from his Mom (Mary Jo...who was the best).  For some reason, we figured nobody would notice us pushing a giant box out of the garage, down the drive, and through the yards until we were out of sight of Mary Jo.  What great summer memories.  We did get busted but getting the rath of Mary Jo was not really so bad.   And in retrospect was really nothing when compared with the great childhood memories.

PS.  I was so inspired by our minibike memories I restored the exact bike John had…I did it 47 years after.  I sent this picture along with the memory to John last year.  We both got a lot of good laughs and memories from it.

John's gentle and upbeat nature was quite inspirational to many who knew the battle he faced.  RIP longtime old friend.  Jack Karagozian 



Dear Said Family, I am sorry to hear the loss of your dear loved one John. At this time of sorrow God's word the Bible gives us hope at Revelation 21: 3,4, that soon death will be no more and John 5: 28,29 also gives us hope of the resurrection. I hope these scriptures can give you some comfort at this time.

Sincerely Yours,
Frances

My thought and prayers are with Tom and the entire Said family. John was a great man and will be missed.
