I wish I still had photos with John. I dated him for a little while maybe a year. He would travel to lake placid every Friday and leave on Sunday. He was a very good man. It wasn't meant to be but that was ok. I was happy to hear he moved on and found love. I was devastated to learn of his death and I sure wish I didn't wait so long to reach out and check on him and see where he was and what he was up to. I'm so sorry to his family and wife and child. Thank God he had a son and can leave behind part of him for the world to know and love. He will be missed. God bless him and his family. Rest In Peace John. 

....and,  one day they met each other, I remember it pretty well, and since then they grew up together, their love was, is , so beautiful, they understood each other so well, he taught her so many things and she was willing to learn , they always had so much fun going to different places, more than ten years together and when she was with me he will call her every five minutes,like when you start dating ... hard for me to understand back then because I'm very independent, lol, but it was their beautiful love,  Su amor bonito.  I'm a very direct girl , straight to the point, and he knew it ☺️, so a few  times I approach him... Wes!  Let her breath, boy!  And He will always tell me:  Gaby, your sister is everything to me, I love her sooo,  so much, and you have no idea how worry I get when she is not by me 😶...
Wes, you know I miss you, and you knew I love you like my brother in law you are, no matter all the funny arguments we had here and there that a lot of times were follow by good laughts ... and you knew that I will never let go....that makes me be in peace, because you knew. 
I have always try to stay strong, and I think I do a good job ... But seeing someone sooo good hearted leave like Wes did, like my dad did, literally breaks part of my heart... And leave it with no heal.
Manta, like Wes knew, I will always be there for you and my bb Max... No matter where I go...I will be there... I love you. ❤️

Hi I along with my son Tim and May daughter in law Erik’s wish to convey our deepest sympathies to the family
Jew are his upstairs neighbors unit 201
I have a fond memory of mine about John I’d like to share with you
When we first bought our unit we had a leak from the apartment on the 3rd floor
It ran into Johns unit to
He went above and beyond being neighborly helped me with the flood and gave me good advice I had and stayed with me till the water was turned off if it handnt been fir him I would have panicked
I will never forget him fir doing this for me  his kindness was so much appreciated May he Rest In Peace 

My family has lived above yours. We were friendly in passing but never really became friends. However, I could tell what an amazing man, father, husband and friend you were. We did talk about the Marlins and baseball and I know you are enjoying the best game possible in heaven right now. Our condolences to your wonderful family John. Love your neighbors in 201.
