Thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of John at this difficult time. I wish I had the words to soften the blow and heal the hurt, however I know that only time spent with loved ones can help that process. Our deepest sympathies.

John, you will be missed I had the privilege of working with you for 39 years and shared many good times together at our fleet meetings and times at the truck shows in Louisville. You were always willing to help me when I needed it. God Bless you and your family.
