    Peggy, Nicholas
    Please accept my belated condolences. I was so shocked to read about John’s passing. I had just sent John and email to Source America (SA) about the passing of my special son Richard when his email bounced back telling me he no longer worked for SA. So I then googled him to see if i could find his current email and this notice came up. I am so sorry for your loss. Given the timing of my sons passing just last month (he was 43) it hit me pretty hard. I have so many fond memories of my time around John. You may remember that we car pooled together for several years when I lived in Mill Creek. He was such a gentle soul and went out of his way to help so many people. He was always there for me when I needed to talk about something, or bounce an idea off. When we moved to Port Ludlow and had an open house he came out early to help us set up our TV which would ultimately hang on our family room wall. Nicholas, remember when we hired you to rake our leaves in Mill Creek? Your Dad came with you and helped! Such wonderful memories I have of John. He was truly one of my favorite people at SA. I believe that John is holding my son’s hand in heaven and showing him around.
    Please accept my belated condolences. John was a very special guy indeed and will be missed by many.

    Peggy and Nicholas, I had the pleasure of working with John at SourceAmerica for the last 5 years. John was a fantastic Account Manager and an even better human being. No one was more conscientious, dedicated and patient. He always had time for everyone and was as hard a worker as you can find. He took pride in his work and it showed. He had a way with connecting with people that was soothing and uncanny. No matter how difficult the conversation or issue at hand, I personally always felt better after talking with John. He just had a way of making you feel that he was right in there with you, and we would get through it together. Even though I and many others will miss him dearly, please know that he left a legacy of good will and positivity and scores of people like me are better for having known him.

    Mrs. Frisk, Nicholas, and family. I am so saddened to hear of John’s passing. The first thing that came to my mind’s eye was his chuckle and broad grin and that I would miss them. I was fortunate enough to assist John on some contract negotiations and to glean some of his extensive knowledge. John will be sorely missed at JP Industries, Tucson.

    I was so saddened to hear about John’s passing. He was a fun, generous, caring and true family man. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times but my greatest memory is at the WVS Auction when he bidded a trip for his family. He was having so much fun! My heart goes out to you both.

    John was very helpful negotiating the contracts I was involved with. I can hear his strong, kind voice giving me sound advice during challenging business negotiations. He always spoke well of his family… so proud of his son’s baseball skills. I am very sorry to hear of his passing… he will be missed by many of us.

    My thoughts are with you. I am saddened that I didn’t get the opportunity to have further discussions with him. Just from our brief interaction I feel that I missed out on a chance to know a truly incredible person.

    I didn’t have an opportunity to be around John for more than a handful of times but it was enough to realize what a wonderful person he was. He was warm and welcoming, encouraging, supportive, funny, thoughtful, and clearly loved his wife and son. I will always remember his reaction after going through a bidding war at our auction to win a trip for his family to Costa Rica. He said holding up the paddle with one hand was fun but handing over his credit card with the other hand, hurt! John devoted his life to supporting individuals with disabilities and inspired others around him to do the same and while he will be missed, his actions will keep impacting our world. Love to you Peggy and Nicholas!

    Peggy and Nicholas, I am so very sorry for your loss. John was a very thoughtful, generous, and kind person who would help anyone in need. He even came over to my house one time to help in my yard, which was not the most enjoyable task. Having worked with John in the Seattle office at SourceAmerica over the last 20 years, I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to get to know John on a daily basis. Please accept my heartfelt condolences and reach out if there is anything that you need.

    I will remember with fondness the trip to John’s favorite restaurant and the light house park when Brian and I were in Seattle. It was always obvious when around John that his heart was full of love, light, and calm. I will be praying for all who are missing him.

He’s definitely going to be missed and I will always think of him in that funny and fun loving person that I met just a few years ago. I wish you well in your grieving process and I am here for anything you and your family need. Much love, Andre
