Lisa, I'm so very sorry. I and others at the FINCEN just received word today of his passing. I want you to know that John left a lasting impact on the CG, DOT, DHS and Oracle Inc. His legacy and contributions to the Financial Community will be felt for years. He was a good friend, supervisor and working companion who will be sorely missed. David Redden, USCG FINCEN (OC)
