"I am so very saddened to hear of John's passing. I've only known him for a short period of time, as he was a regular in my Voorhees sandwich shop for the past 2 years. Whenever he (and the Frankie's) came in, we always knew we were in for some laughs. We've been thinking of him because we haven't seen him lately, so I sent him a text the other day just to check on him. Now I know why I never got a response:( This was so shocking to me. I will definitely miss seeing him. I send my sincere sympathies to his family and friends."
