John was one of my mentors when I worked at EDS in the late 90's. He really knew his stuff. I remember enjoying his laughter as we contemplated the insanity of trying to manage some of our projects. He will be missed. He'll forever be on schedule and on budget and on cloud 9. RIP John! You will be missed.
