I was sad to read about John's passing. I worked with him at his travel agency and always enjoyed interacting with him. He was kind, intelligent, and humorous. I moved away, but have great memories of him and what he taught me about the travel industry, and life too. May he rest in peace.

So saddened and deeply sorry to hear of John´ passing. We started working at Piedmont Airlines in the mid 80´s and he was so admired for his kindness, intelligence and humor. He used to boast (or confess lol) about ice cream being his weakness and he was able to consume an entire carton at one sitting! I´m sure you and Pat are already sharing some Irish jokes up there John. Rest In Peace my friend.

I worked with John in the Medicare sales unit at Healthcare Plan (Univera) and Independent Health between 1995 and 2021. He was quick with a joke, always professional , knew the plans and Medicare details thoroughly, and was always willing to help. My condolences to his familyand to everyone who cared for him. The IHA Red Shirts will miss him this fall.

I only knew John less than 3 years. He had a beautiful soul and was one of the most genuine people I´ve ever met. Always asking about my family and looking out for me. I thought of him as a father figure and will miss him deeply.

We worked together for the past nine years during Medicare open enrollment. John was great to work with, always ready to help, to provide answers and a quip or joke. Beyond that he was a fine person and a gentleman. Heartfelt condolences. He will be deeply missed.
