He taught me that trust, honesty and fun were the foundations business success. Thanks John. Adrian and Cathie"
"To the Anstett familes, our heartfelt sympathies for your great loss. John was a wonderful man who touched many people, my father being one of them.

Rest in peace John Deane and Kevin Luces"
"To my Clinton Cousins, I'd like to express my sincere sympathy. It's been wonderful to see the pictures, down through the years, thanks for sharing, I remember my Uncle Jack as being very tolerant of all the chaos a "pack" of kids can create.
