John L. Bestel

We have lost a true Renaissance man. John had such a joie de vivre and a sparkle in his eye. He was a loyal, devoted friend through thick and thin and we will miss him very much. Dave enjoyed many bike rides with John along the Lehigh Canal bike path. Anne enjoyed practicing her French with him. We will both miss his fabulous cooking and very charming company. Much sympathy to Kristine, Ashley and Family

RIP John. My first job interview with AT&T back in 1985 was with John in Munich, mid of 1985 AT&T acquired from Honeywell the ASIC design center with 16 design engineers. This was the beginning of highly successful ride of AT&T in Europe. Victor

My condolences to John's family and friends for their loss. I worked with John at Western Electric/AT&T. Several years ago I gave John a bike tour on the Ironton Rail-Trail. Peace.

It is with such a heavy heart that I send my sympathies. French John , as I affectionately called him, was a dear friend and my adventure partner for years. Biking at Jacobsburg, sailing in Maryland, skiing in Vermont, all you can eat crabs with cold beers, cooking, margaritas, music, cigars....... Did I mention margaritas?? THE BEST. I have so many forever memories. I am grateful French John was a part of my life. I will never forget my friend. He offered so much and will be missed eternally.

Dear Kristina, our Thoughts and Prayers are with you ALL during this very Difficult Time...Please know that His Presence and Guidance will be with you ALL Each and Every Day and His Special Memories will Live in your Hearts Forever... Always Remember, Those we Love don't go Away... They Walk Beside us every Day... Unseen, Unheard, but Always Near... Still Loved, Still Missed and Always Very Dear... May God Bless you ALL... Love, Rich and Millie Wescoe
