Son when are you going to walk around that corner as I know you are not gone. If only I could talk to you I miss you more than words can ever say even though it has been over 7 years I still can not come to grips with the fact that I can't see you or talk to you . My heart hurts as much today as it did on that horrible day. this pain will never go away and I know you would not want me to hurt this way but you were my ROCK and the one thing that gets me through is the last words you said to me "I LOVE YOU ' with a big hug before you left that evening . Love you and have a beautiful heavenly birthday

We were talking about photography this week - and of course - can't talk about photography and not remember John's lovely pictures and the fun he had capturing them. Among his many gifts - John was an 'artsy' guy. He saw the humor in life, self, and situations - making him a great friend and fun fellow. Some people you meet in life - are so genuine and sincere - the friendship and their good self stays with you over the years. Sorry you are not here now, John. Know you are exploring and continuing in your journey. Blessings

John, it's hard to believe it has been so many years already since your journey to heaven. I think about you often especially everytime I hear Cindy Lauper songs! I remember your wit and am sure God and the angels are entertained daily with your charm! My prayers to the family.

I just found this page while trying to reconnect with my friend John. I am heartbroken to get the news. I will forever treasure John’s good heart, sense of humor, and friendship. I miss you John! You showed me the day moon. That and other memories (there are so many... we had so much fun together) will always be in my heart. Love, Karen

It has been two years ago today that I lost my only brother, and there is not a day that goes by that his memory doesn't come to me in hearing a familiar song, seeing vintage planes or some of his favorite birds. He loved all of those things, but most importantly he loved his family and friends. I believe he is still watching over and protecting all of us everyday.
I miss you so much John...
Love,
Carol

I am so glad that our paths crossed...
Rest in peace..
You are the guardian angel of all who have known you..

John, my dear John...words can't describe this feeling. Johnny man was the kindest most empathic man I've met here at Harris County. Beneath his rough exterior, he was a sincerely noble and caring soul. He "chose" his profession of Social Work to "help, aid, listen and be a friend" to anyone and everyone....his love for photography says it all, he viewed the world as a good place. Until we meet again old pal

my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
John is one of those rare people who is willing to give so much of himself and he did it everyday at work, he did it with Love for you
and he did it for his special friends and for me.
He touched the lives of others by his Kindness, his Integrity, his Honesty, his Dedication for the helpless during work hours and
the Joy and Friendship he shared.
Yes! John touched the lives of many and he will be deeply missed.
I am Very Sorry for Your Loss.
"My dear John,
Only God knows why you physically left us so soon, but
you are right here with me, in the same place,
in my thoughts, in my dreams, in my heart,
and no distance, no time can ever take it away
until the Day that we reunite again.
I miss you so much...
Thank you for your Love, for your Tenderness, for your Caring
and for Our Wonderful Time together.
God promises in "John Chapter 5 : 28 and 29"
than soon will come a special time and we will see our Loved ones again,
And I will wait for that day,
to see you and we can hold our hands again.
Always, ILONA

i hope before you departed you realized your purpose. Your ways may not have been understood by all, but brought a level of consciousness to those who crossed your path. You were dedicated to your work, your friends and your mother. You were passionate about nature, photography, music and air shows (LOL) Everytime you handed out a photograph, you gave a piece of yourself. I know it was sometimes difficult to express yourself, but we got it and thank you. No more worries, rest in peace my friend.

Crossing Over
Oh! Please don't feel guilty
It was just my time to go
I see you as still feeling sad and the tears just seem to flow.
We all come to earth for our lifetime and for some it is not many years
I don't want you to keep crying, You are shedding so many tears.
I haven't really left you, even tho it may seem so, I have just gone to my heavenly home.
And I'm closer to you than you know.
Just believe that when you say my name, I'm standing right beside you.
I know you long to see me but there is nothing I can do.
But I'll send you messages and hope you understand that when your time come to "Cross over" I'll be there to take your hand.
I truly believe this was his message

Dear John, Without fail no matter what kind of day you had you gave 110% to each your patients. For the lonely you gave a listening ear. For the hopeless you gave heart. For the voiceless you gave a voice. How many times did you and I scour records and call Latin America to reach mothers, brothers, and children of patients that had no one here to be by there side? How many times did you work your miracles to bring them here to care for them? You truly carried each of your patients on your shoulders. You found homes for the homeless, funds for the destitute, and a beacon of light for the spiritually lost. Every person's pain was yours. I never knew how you did it. I'll never know how we'll do it without you.
May you finally find the peace that eluded you in this life. You will forever be the missing piece in ours.

Challenged Minds
September 17, 2014
John was a unique person that I had the pleasure of knowing and mentoring at Ben Taub General Hospital. He had an exceptional mind which was inquisitive and highly intelligent. I enjoyed our daily conversations as colleagues and as mentor/mentoree. The knowledge he instilled in me regarding life, Mental health, healthcare, politics, the world made me feel as if I was the mentoree. John definitely left his legacy behind in all the knowledge he instilled in everyone he ever spoke with throughout his life. He will be missed.
