Here is the Bldg 7437 paint shop where John worked for many years. It is no longer there since a smaller one was set up by shops and labs.
John took care of things but didn't complain. We had environmental limitations ratcheting up through the years but John maintained a good disposition through it all.

Word arrived late. I'm glad to see John did well after retiring from Lockheed Martin. I worked with John for many years - he was the lead in our paint shop when it was located in Bldg. 7437. He was friendly, helpful and very good at supporting the various maintenance projects. I learned a lot from him. I enjoy seeing his smile in the attached pictures. I'm sure he will be missed.

So many thoughts go through my mind regarding John, Sr. Singing, laughing, bowling, bowling trips, barbeques with John Jr. cooking. I can still hear and see his smile and laugh. He always made my 2 children feel special. Seems like such a long time ago.
My thoughts and prayers go to everyone in his family.
He will be greatly missed and now he will be with Sue and John Jr.

Cards, bump, Pokeno, chess, cornhole, school, bocce ball, red rover, twisting the night away, holding me up with my feet cupped in your hand, showing me the stars by lifting me with your hands over my ears, and everything else, you’ve always been there.
For everything you've done and everything you are, thank you. You are the light that shines.
Love you, trainloads, Daddy
