Gary Hayden wrote a sympathy message

“We are praying for you, Candy, and family. JP was a good friend who left us with good memories after each visit or outing. From the family’s Alaska visit, to river float trips, to our inaugural trip with JP to the Grand Canyon, JP’s laughter, enthusiasm, and “go-for-it” encouragement made every event special. We have treasured his photos he shared with us and will continue to savor the warmth of his generosity of spirit and friendship. Gary and Judi Hayden, Juneau, Alaska”
