I had the pleasure of working with John for several years at NDI. John was a great polygraph examiner and Investigator. He was even a better friend. John served his Reno and the state of Nevada very well. God Rest His Soul.

Dear Lisa and Larry, I was saddened by the news of your Father's death. My cousin and John's friend Vernon Manke called me today to tell me John had passed away. I think of you both often and love you both. Glenda
