My family's prayers amd well wishes are with you all at the loss of John. I had just started to work with Speidel in the 80's when I was fortunate enough to meet and get to know John. He was a tough but fair business man whom I admired very much. I was lucky enough to play cards on many occasions with "the Zarous", if you call losing money to John fortunate! Joey, I know you learned many good things from your dad. He will be missed but not forgotten. All the best,
Fred Shuford
My thanks to Howard Batwin for passing on the sad news.
