I just saw this. I had the privilege of knowing Johnny V. several years ago. He was a blast to hang out with and we had some great times back in the 80's. My thoughts & prayers go out to his loved ones. Sad to see that he left us at such a young age.

I am very sorry for your loss, I've known John since his days early days at Crosstown supply with Lou, which was many moons ago, He was a great guy and will be missed by many 
We had a lot of great memory's together that still bring a smile to my face and yes the electric industry is a little dimmer without him around
Thanks for the fun times buddy
Chuck Williams and Family

To say we are sorry for your loss doesn't seem adequate in times like this, Zac. It seems like yesterday you and Ron were just kids playing in the basement and your dad was coming over to pick you up. Life is short, Dads are forever, even in heaven, so its not goodbye, its see you later. Be well, God Bless.

Gigi and All, I'm shocked to read John's notice this morning and so sorry for the grief that's come upon all of you. All I can offer you are my prayers as you mourn his ending here, along with a reminder of our faith and hope that he's with his Dad and brother in the next world that Our Lord promises in the gospels. May John know God's presence and perfect peace now.

We are deeply saddened to hear of John's passing. He was a good co-worker, and mostly a friend.

I am in such shock and so saddened to hear about John.  I have never met such a fun-loving, warm-hearted and caring individual.  I have been in the lighting industry with John for over 10 years. He taught me much of what I know in my younger years. There are no words to put how much he will truly be missed. If I could only talk to him one more time!! God bless you all during this hard time!!

My condolences.  God Bless the Volland family.

Kyle Reed and Family

I was devastated to hear about John yesterday. His smile, sense of humor and words of spiritual wisdom were always appreciated when we worked together at Active Electric. The lighting industry will be that much dimmer without John's spirit and bright smile. My most sincere condolences to the Volland family and John's friends during this difficult time.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear of John's passing.  I worked with John for many years at Paramont, where he became a trusted and much loved friend.  May you all find comfort in beautiful memories and the warm embrace of family and friends.

I'm trying to absorb this tragic news.  Currently holding back the tears.  John was a good friend and co-worker.  I had the honor of working side by side with him for several years and have fond memories of him.  Outside of work he was a fun loving person and always made me laugh, not a day went by when he didn't talk of the love of his life, Zach.   He will be truly missed by many.  My sincerest condolences and prayers go out to the entire Volland family.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of John. We worked together in the Lighting Industry together for over 25 years. He will be sorely missed by all. God Bless to his family and friends.

Gigi our love and prayers are with you and your family during the difficult days ahead. With your strong belief in god and the love of your children and grandchildren will help you to draw upon your inner strength. We love you.   Love Your Acton family....Beth, Donny, Patrick, Jenny and Andrew Sloan

I am so sad to hear about the passing of Johnny. My prayers are with your family.
