Thank you so much for that post. We bought our island property 2 years ago from Island Realty. I had the pleasure of meeting John and enjoyed getting to know him. He was a gentleman and he will be missed. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

Like many we met John while purchasing our island "project". He was a very nice man and helped us quite a bit. We kept in touch with him over the years and will miss him. Loved to hear his stories about politics in NH, since we knew many of the subjects. NH and the Lakes Region has lost a treasure.

A few years back I got a call from John. We had a wonderful time chatting about the lake and island living. After the pleasantries were out of the way, he asked how he could help me. I laughed and reminded him that he was the one that placed the call to me. He thought that was hilarious!

He was looking for permission to use our dock for a local showing.

I wish that I had gotten to meet this nice man in person. My sympathy goes out to his family and friends.
