Mary & Family: Having worked with John during all his years in Worcester, I was deeply saddened to hear of his untimely passing. I admired John as a person and remember, with a smile, how he would call me, request a piece of paper from his office and tell me exactly where it was in the midst of many papers and folders. My thoughts and prayers are with you-he will be missed.

Mary, I am so sorry to hear about your husband. Although I know all about this kind of pain, I know of no words that will ease it. Please know that I am thinking about you and you can always call if you want to scream. That always helped me.
