It was a pleasure to work with John over ten years and continue our friendship after his retirement. John was one of the finest people I have ever had the pleasure to know and to work with. He was a perfect gentleman, a highly respected colleague and a loyal friend. We all enjoyed many long, technical discussions with John who freely shared his wealth of knowledge with us... he was often sought out for his opinion on most, if not all, of the technical questions and challenges we had in doing our daily work. We came to love John as a trusted friend and advisor, we came to know and appreciate his sense of humor... we will miss him dearly but have faith that he is in a better place and believe we shall meet again and probably have a few laughs about Bell Labs and the phone company.
