Dear family of John Andrew, I was sorry to hear about the passing of John! He was a kind and gentle man. I worked at Goodyear with him in the test lab for many years. He was greatly respected by all who knew him. He greeted me with kindness when I hired in to the lab. Which was Shortly after I got out of the Army.
