John taught me the ropes at P&G. He was a class act and inspired me to do well. I will always remember him fondly.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. All of us grieve the loss of our loved one to death. We could not but be deeply saddened by their passing away. God promised this will be a thing of the past. Please look up what he will do with death found at 1 Corinthian15:26 and Jesus' promise regarding our loved ones we lost in death found at John 21, 28, 29. May this knowledge help you endure trying times.

As Johns oncologist, it was my honor to care for this honorable and kind gentleman. With his soft North carolina drawl and courteous manners (he always stood when I entered the exam room) he battled prostate cancer with true gallentry. Dr Nick Vogelzang Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada
