I’m so sorry for John’s passing. He hired me at Fujifilm, and I worked under him for a number of years. He was a very smart and nice man to work with. My heart goes out to all your family John, you were very special.

I send my deepest sympathy to John's family. I worked with him at Fujifilm, he on the "hard" side building/wiring the Merlin printer enclosures, I on the "soft" side programming them. He always had a smile on his face and was a joy to work with. I will always remember him fondly.
