Condolence From: Mahdi Chaney
Condolence: One can never put into words what it feels like to be in the presence of greatness. It is a vibe that you receive only when speaking with a select few human beings on this Earth. From my several interactions with John, I can vividly remember the words of wisdom passed on about entrepreneurship, knowledge about the realities of raising a family and his somewhat skewed love for New York professional sports teams. All in all, we are all thankful to have been blessed with such a great spirit.

Condolence: What a sad time it is, to lose such a great man and such a respected leader in his industry. I've known John for many years, seeing him at nearly every interiorscape conference held throughout the country. He was one of the sharpest businessmen I knew and yet always had time to stop and talk with you. He's been an inspiration to many of us and will be truly missed. To his family, thank you for sharing John with us and may God bless you and keep you. John, enjoy your forever-time in that great big conservatory in the sky and we'll see you again soon. -Kathy Fediw

Condolence: Our heartfelt condolences to all of the John Mini Family, including the many loyal employees who have worked with John over all these years. The industry shares your grief. We have all lost a good friend and a pioneer who set a high standard for our industry. I so clearly remember those early days of our businesses and loading Sue Ann's car as she came to Tropic Greenhouses to pick up plants. John's leadership and contributions to the industry will be felt for a long, long time. Please know that we are thinking about you and that we will miss our great friend. Lenore and Joe Cialone

Condolence From: Nick Gerbasi
Condolence: John, I can think back over forty years when we first met. You were struggling starting a new business. I always looked forward to my visits to your offices. Each day started with a chat over coffee,we always had lunch, first in City Island then in Congers. Those meeting were always for business but we always took time to talk about family,politics, fly fishing and golf. I am so proud of being part of your building that small business into the most respected in your industry. I am blessed to have had you as my friend. Going to Congers will never be the same Nick

Condolence: Dear John Mini Family and Organization, My sincere condolences for the loss of John. I had the privilege to work with John for the last 20 years as a customer. While we enjoyed a great client-vendor relationship, I looked at John as more of a colleague and friend. He always had our best interests in mind and was always proactive in managing our garden and landscaping. He was a truly dedicated professional who was ahead of his time in the world of horticulture and interior landscaping. I will truly miss John. May he rest in peace.

Condolence From: Barb Helfman
Condolence: My condolences to all of John's Family and Friends. I've known John for over 30 years and I've spent the past few days remembering. John was one of the true pioneers in our Interiorscape industry. We both had the privilege of writing for Interiorscape Magazine. He was generous to a fault in sharing his expertise and wisdom on those pages. Many an interiorscaper benefited from his wisdom. I would also see John at Industry Meetings several times a year and when He held a meeting at his new facility we all shared in his success. Story: One year we were both at a meeting in San Diego and stopped to sheare a drink. John told me he needed to come up with a new name for his business since he was now combining Interior and Exterior. I gave him the suggestion of John Mini Distinctive Landscapes. Tons of memories all good. John left his mark and we in the industry owe him great tribute and thanks. God Bless. Barb Helfman

I am personally saddened with this lost and my heart goes out to his family, friends, associates and the hundreds of people in the Floral Culture industry which feels this loss.

Condolence From: Richard Parker
Condolence: John was a competitor and a friend. We have known each other for about 30 years. I had the utmost respect for his abilities, accomplishments and the terrific company he built along with a great and loyal team. His speeches at industry events were inspiring! No matter how experienced you were, one always left with some great new idea he spoke about. His articles in the industry news were just as inspiring! I only knew of his business family and I was always impressed by the quality of people and loyalty he had brought together. He will be missed by all! The industry has lost a great man! Rich Parker

Condolence From: Vicki
Condolence: I am so sorry for your loss. I knew John for over 30 years as a 'friendly' competitor in the interior landscape business. We all started out as novices... As the industry grew, so did John and his company. He always had wisdom to share with fledgling companies and in industry magazines. He will be missed.
