With my deepest sympathies. John
was a true professional, great friend and most of all, a fantastic family man. I'll miss seeing that long, confident stride as he moved from meeting to meeting while at AMR as well as that ever-present smile he always welcomed me with every morning I passed by his office.

John and I worked together at Bowker warehouse over 30 years ago when we were both starting our careers in logistics. I enjoyed crossing paths with John over the years at various conferences. I am both shocked and saddened to learn of his passing at much too early an age.

As one of the founders at AMR I had the great opportunity to have known John from his first days at our company. he was talented,dedicated, and always willing to help "the new kids on the block."
I can never remember him without a smile. Simply said...he was a good guy.

John was a great colleague who I could always go to for advice and education. He left an impression on me in the time we worked together as well as after we went in different directions. John was one of the few people who could be passionate, fair, and practical in an industry where most cannot.

Please accept my deepest sympathies, and although I only knew John for a short time in a business context he was someone that made an impression in whatever he did.
