John has been in my thoughts every day since I heard of his passing. I am so deeply sorry for your loss, it is such a loss to those that knew him. I truly enjoyed working with him over the last couple of years, discussing jewelry, golf and the latest phone technology! He was a very kind and special person. His family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
