    for those who had the pleasure to meet john at last years ride for the roses or the philly ride , i regret to inform you john passed away this morning . john is survived by his wife erin and 3 children . in johns 6 year battle against cancer he was the epitome of strength courage and selfishness , and in the same mold his wife erin has asked all who call that rather than send flowers or food and to support what john was fighting for to continue to donate in johns name to the LAF . we are starting a team in johns honor and will soon begin the process of establishing college funds for his kids .

    I only had the pleasure of meeting him once but I will never forget him. He showed true courage and determination in the face of incredable odds. He may have lost but during the time he was given he certainly did livestrong.

      John was an inspiration during the LIVESTRONG Challenge Philadelpia and Ride for the Roses Weekend last year. He made a lasting impression. I'm terribly sorry to hear about his death. I know your team in his honor will do him proud.

        topshelf,
        I am very sorry for the loss of your friend. I remember reading all the great things the guys posted about him after the Ride for the Roses and he sounded like an incredible, inspiring person. My condolences to his family.

          I made a new donation to the Lance Armstrong Foundation in memory of John O'Toole tonight.
