  1. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. This unexpected loss weighs heavy on the heart. I pray you find strength and comfort knowing that he loved you all very much!! I thank God that I was blessed to have know and worked with him. John was an amazing person and will truly be missed.

  2. John’s curiosity, spark, kindness and dedication will be sorely missed. We are all better to have known him. My thoughts are with your family.

    And when great souls die,
    after a period peace blooms,
    slowly and always
    irregularly. Spaces fill
    with a kind of
    soothing electric vibration.
    Our senses, restored, never
    to be the same, whisper to us.
    They existed. They existed.
    We can be. Be and be
    better. For they existed.

    -Excerpt, When Great Trees Fall, Maya Angelou

  3. I know John for close to 15 years. I can only remember him with a smile. He spoke his heart and never kept me guessing regarding of our ongoing discussions. He always brought to smile to the room and had a way of making every problem look so simple. I connected with him at the beginning of the covid shut down, and it was heartening to see his sincere efforts to help me and my team as we were grappling with the changes and lockdown. I learnt the phrase “all the ducks in the same row” from some of the several planning meetings we had 🙂

    Thank you john for all the good memories and for the person you were. May your soul rest in peace.

  4. My deepest sympathy to the whole family. John will be greatly missed by the entire Heinen’s family. His knowledge and understanding of the entire company cannot be replaced.

  5. Deepest condolences to John’s family.

Your enthusiastic full commitment to Heinens success remains a very high bar for all of us. You are already missed every day. Our prayers are with you and your family

  7. You have been an inspiration since we met. There wasn’t a problem you could not solve with your mindset, your energy and your positive approach.

You will truly be missed.

  10. My deepest condolences to all of the Kane Family. John will truly be missed in the hallways of Heinen’s main office. He was patient, kind, and always smiling. He took time to explain complex technology in a simple way so all could understand. Words cannot express how much we will miss him.

  11. To John’s family
    I reported to John years ago at Heinens. Great and very honest man. He always seemed to make me think and come up with his answer without telling me his answer first. I’m sure you all know his “at the end of the day “ line. A line and wonderful memory of him. My deepest condolences to you all.
