Maggie, Will, Ellie and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. John was one of the nicest people I´ve ever known and a great leader. He was passionate about his career and wanted to ensure the success of everyone who worked with him. He was so excited when you got your fifth wheel and planned all your adventures as a family. May God comfort you as you grieve, but please remember...for a man of faith, death is not the end, it´s just a passing. Thinking of you all at this difficult time.

To the entire Catoe family, I would like to send my deepest sympathy and well wishes for you in future. I had the immense pleasure to work with Col Catoe at Shaw and he was great leader to us all. I know you and the kids are proud of the way he was both a leader and father/husband, not many get that kid of love and devotion so you are all truly blessed. I hope these next days and years you are to have will be filled with the best memories and ways to continue on in you life in Christ. ...
