Mrs. B., Tracy and Kevin our hearts go out to you. I have such fond memories of Mr. B. thinking how cool he was smoking his pipe and working on his cars in the garage or yelling at the TV during the bears game when we all watched together in 1985 when they lost the Monday night game to the Dolphins and their perfect season. He was quite the charcter and enjoyed such a rich full life. Having lost my father at such a young age I know how difficult it is but feel blessed he had such a full life with you all and is now at peace. All our love,
Keith and Sara

Kevin, Tracy
A time when the heart feels empty, a time when friends, family come to
fill the hole with remembrance, very difficult time indeed
but know he is always there come reflection.

Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies for your loss…my thoughts are with you and your family.
John will certainly be missed. I always remembered his fondness for the poet Dylan Thomas, "Do not go gentle into that good night". I valued and always enjoyed our conversations on art, film and literature. He was one of a kind.
A good friend of so many years going way back to 1968.

As another painter I appreciated John and his joy in his work. He was almost always positive and definately supportive of those around him. It was fun to evesdrop when he was teaching chess at the art center, patient, kind and funny too, the best kind of teacher. We at the SHCA will miss him.

John, forgive me. I could not find the words till now to say goodbye. I was a wet-behind-the-ears CNA when I first met you in February of 2013 having recently graduated CNA training.
Your love for art and history matched my own and I came to love as if you were my own father. I did what I could to make you comfortable in the few months we got to know each other.
When your time came to depart, I remained as much as I could by your side till the end.
Its been nearly a year since I last saw you, but I can still remember you as a man of passionate love for the arts and history.
Forgive me, I could not have done more for you. You'll always be in my heart.
your friend till the end,
Tom
