I want to say how much Papa is missed by all of us. I think of him often. Hugs, and love to all the family.##imported-begin##Yvonne##imported-end##
It's very hard to know what to say about such a wonderful man that would give due credit to his greatness. I once read "there are people who come into and out of our lives only to be forgotten, others leave footprints on our heart." Papa John was a peron who touched everyones heart that he met & although it is a great loss for all of us that loved him, there's no doubt in my mind that heaven is now a happier place. We will miss him.##imported-begin##Jodi##imported-end##
I have only the fondest of Memories of John. He was a wonderful, kind and generous man. Whenever I visited the Kainoa home, the first thing I received was a BIG Papa Hug, to begin a wonderful visit. I couldn't have asked for a better father in law for my daughter, who loved him dearly. He was loved by my family and all who grew to know him.##imported-begin##Yvonne Zitterich##imported-end##

Dear Dee and Family,
We were so sad to hear of John's passing--you've both been such good friends to my mom and dad. I can just imagine the reunion John and dad are having (it's sure to include a heavenly fishing trip :)
My mom teasures the beautiful letter John wrote when dad passed away--it was a comfort to all of us. I know your faith and the love of your family will see you through this difficult time.
God Bless,
Bill and Glenda
