I had the privilege of the Reynolds & Reynolds life with John, Ron and others. That place was like family. We worked, had the golf league and outings, the charity events, and there was going out to lunch. One particular lunch outing was to a Downtown Chinese buffet with John & Ron. This episode of the John and Ron show there, had John making a mewing sound every time Ron would start to take a bite of the mystery meat on a stick. Ron, I (as well as some others that were trying not to be noticed) were laughing so hard we were almost crying. I don't remember if Ron ever did eat it or not. John added so much to whatever environment he stepped into in a most positive way. An incredible man he was, and an incredible team he and Ron made. My prayers and condolences to the family & his friend Ron. RIP John! Thank You for so many wonderful memories!

My deepest sympathy and prayers to John´s family. John and I started at UPS fairly close in time. John was one of the kindest people I have ever met. We shared a lot of laughs and many conversations at work about family and pets, amongst other topics. He will truly be missed by so many of us. May God comfort and keep you always.
