Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear about John's passing,
our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
We cherish the memories we spent together in Buenos Aires.

My sympathy to the John Baggesen family. John was my first boss at Harza when I started as a co-op student in the Indus Basin Division. I worked for him for the following 4 years. He was a very good engineer but more importantly was a good teacher and tolerant of the errors made by, and lack of experience of junior engineers. I have always been glad I was exposed to John at an early age in my own career.....and I'm sure I am not alone in that feeling. I greatly appreciate my time with...

Our deepest sympathies to Doris, Cathy and Julia. We got to know John in the 1980's while assigned to the Yacyreta Project in Buenos Aires, Argentina. John was an excellent engineer and a wonderful person who was very well repected by his American, German and Argentine associates. He will be missed greatly. Brian & Lynne Anthony

Jhon has been a good friend of mine who sat next to me for about 2 years in Harza. He was always friendly always respected others. He was a model gentleman. I will miss him terribly.

Sorry to hear of John's passing. I worked with him at Harza many years ago. Deepest sympathies to John's family.
