Wendy, Elizabeth, Michael, Just today I learned of John passing. My condolences on your loss. I first met John back in 1996 at Hudson´s Restaurant and it was like at first sight. Both of us Philly boys and Eagles fans. Over 20 years lots of laughter, Golf, and just great times. John was the most fun guy I ever played Golf with. I also had the privilege to meet all his good buddies from Philly who would visit HHI for golf and just to be with John (AKA) Wizard White) To John, thanks for the memories. You will be missed Again, my condolences and God Bless, Sincerely, Ted Sullivan

My dad was so appreciative of his family and friends. He taught me so much about the value of friendship and taking responsibility for your actions. Many of the lessons he taught me were by example of his own mistakes (Those who knew him well, know there was no shortage of this type of lesson).

Dad loved to make people laugh and smile. He never met a stranger and taught me to put myself out there (I try to do this with more clothes on than him, but now is not the time for judgement).

I´ll miss him always, but take solace knowing he died peacefully in his sleep at home. It was exactly how he wanted to die. I´ve never met someone who thought about their own demise as much as Dad, but I´m so happy that he went the way he envisioned.

I was very lucky to see him a week prior to his passing. He said his final goodbyes to me then (not uncommon for him to do) but I had a feeling that this time was different. The final bit of wisdom he left with me with: "everything´ll be okay. I´m ready to go."

Thanks to the many good friends who stayed in his life. You all meant the world to him and he loved you like family.
