My condolences. Sad to read even if I never met him. He was so young and a fireman hero who's life was to save others.

It's been a while since I've been a part of the firefighting family, but news of John's illness and death was a knife to my heart. Thinking about the world without John is just not the same.
Sending strength and healing to the family, holding you all close in my heart.

Dear Cathy and family,
I spent a summer suckering grapes with John - it was the hottest, dustiest, most back-breaking job I ever had. I learned many things from John that summer: 1) numerous Lord of the RIngs quotes (All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow, bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow; the cracks of DOOM); 2)John nicknamed me 'Jenny Poo', and called me that every time I saw him ever since; 3)one day it was sooooo hot and we joked about drinking a cold beer (neither of us had ever had one - we were around 15) and he said, as if he was an expert, 'you know, drinking cold beer on a hot day just makes you more thirsty' (may have to fact check that one!) 4)Rush and The Who was 'real music' (NOT Madonna and Michael Jackson) and 5)just because no one can see you taking your 15 minute break in the vineyard, doesn't mean that your break can - or should - last longer than 15 minutes. I'm so grateful for these memories - they are from so long ago, but bring a smile to my face when I think of your John. You must all have so many memories of your wonderful father and husband - I hope they bring you comfort and peace as you reflect on his life.

John was the kindest and generous person I every knew. He was my best friend through high school. My best memory was in 11th grade on my birthday - I opened the screen door heading into the house and there was Michael Jackson's album and birthday card. i was so surprised and loved that he always knew how to make me smile.
My condolences to Cathy and his entire loving family.

I only met John a few times, but I saw the effect he has had on his children and his wife. A husband and father doesn’t just get that kind of love, devotion and respect....he earns it. I know he will be missed by his family, friends, community and coworkers. He lives on through the lives of the people he meant the most to and likely the people he saved during his career. It is evident that a wonderful, caring and generous man helped shape his children, in partnership with his wife. I’m so pleased to have known him, even just so briefly.
