“He was great fun to be around. I looked forward to sitting with him at meetings and if arriving separately we always saved each other seats together. I will miss his company and his laughter. My deepest condolences go to Lynn and family members.”

Leslie Klinger wrote a sympathy message

“I knew John through the Baker Street Irregulars, and I know how devoted he was to the organization. For all of us, it starts out as a shared appreciation of Holmes and his world, but it quickly turns into a warm, comfortable, cherished network of friends. John will be sorely missed. Les Klinger”

Karen Murdock wrote a sympathy message

“I am a Sherlockian from Minneapolis, with family ties to Philadelphia. I met John at several functions on the East Coast. He was also on The Hounds of the Internet, posting as "Police Constable Cook." I mourn his passing. I am sure he is now safe on the other side of the Reichenbach Falls, meeting all the great Sherlockians of the past who have gone before us. ~Karen Murdock, ASH”

John Bergquist wrote a sympathy message

“Lynn and family, we are so sad to hear of John’s passing. We had no idea he had been ailing, which must’ve made for a tough time for all of you. He was one of the first people I would always look for at Baker Street Irregulars gatherings, knowing that he would greet me with a big smile. John & Inez Bergquist”
