Not sure what to say?

Working with John at Clorox was a wonderful experience for me. He was a leader and strong motivator, teaching the younger folks all the skills we would need to lead. I have the fondest memories of working with John. Best wishes to his wonderful family.

I hope your memories of John are still strong and bring comfort and joy. I am sending thoughts and prayers of thanksgiving for the goodness of this man, his prevailing legacy, and your family. Stay safe and well, Bobbie, and all!

I was shocked to hear the news of John's death---he was far too young . I think the last time I saw the two of you was at the annual GMA meeting while John was still at Wrigley . I considered John a good friend during his time at Clorox and he was very helpful to me at a difficult time in my life .Maureen and I wish you and your family only good things in the future .

Sam and I send along our deepest sympathies to you, Bobbi, and your wonderful children and grandchildren. I woke up thinking of John this morning, and am deeply saddened to learn of his passing. John hired me at Clorox in 1980 and I only had the deepest respect for him as a person and as a business executive. We remember you both very fondly though it has been many years since we've spoken. May God's blessings be with you always.

Steve, Liz, Pete and Sam - Mara and I are so sorry for your loss. We know how much you loved John. By all accounts he was an amazing man who loved his family and lived his life to the fullest.

DEAR BOBBIE: WHAT A LIFE TO CELEBRATE! I KNOW THAT COMFORT WILL COME AS YOU SEE THE INFLUENCE OF JOHN ON THE GRAND KIDS AND WHY THEY WILL BE BETTER ADULTS BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU YOUR PHS FRIEND ARNIE

So sorry for your loss. I remember meeting you at Neosho Methodist church, we were the family that sat in front of you. We enjoyed our visit w/ you and will hold you in our prayers walk through these changes in life!

I send my condolences to you, Bobbi, your children and grandchildren. John was a first class gentleman and I enjoyed working with him. We only had a few years working together but they were good years. My sympathy to you all.

Am so glad we had lunch together last summer in Neosho. Sending prayers and thanksgiving to God for you both today. That was a special day, as is this. He and you, Bobbi, are blessed to be a blessing. May you be surrounded with the love of family and friends and know we are sending prayers from Neosho as well. I will have the image of the two of you before me all day. So alert, and smart, and kind. I am sorry for your loss and grateful for your "marriage of true minds."
