Dear Joan and family,

Please accept my condolences for John's passing. He was everything stated in the obituary, which was very thoughtful, and a lot more. It was my great pleasure to know and work with John for many years. He was a fine lawyer and person. He is gone too soon.

My best wishes and warmest condolences to all of you.
