We enjoyed John's company at the Bell Labs/AT&T/Lucent Luncheon Group.
He shared many life stories and insights. We will miss his wisdom and kind voice at our table.
May he rest in Peace.

I will definitely miss John. I'm glad I got to speak with John last Thursday at Daybreakers. I really enjoyed his stories and insights into life.

We have been Johns new neighbors for less than 2 years but in that time, John shared with us his warm smile, love of family, and many (many!) great stories. We will miss him and his energy. They dont make em like that (him) anymore!
