Prayers for John's family. I worked with him at DuPont. He was a trusted co-worker and friend.

Mary,
I am sorry to hear the loss of your father. Prayers for you and your entire family.

Deepest sympathy to the family on John's passing. Met John back in the 70s while attending classes at UD Wilcastle Center. Turned out we had a lot in common and stayed friends for quite some time. My fondest memory was after completing a 5K at the JCC, John scolding me for trying to pass him near the finish on the uphill. He told me that he wasn't going to allow anyone to pass him, no matter. He simply picked up his pace to stay ahead. What drive he had!

John and I ran in the same age group. He was fiercely competitive but always a gentleman. Like most of us he was not a natural athlete, but accomplished a great deal with courage, hard work and pure force of will. He was an inspiration.

My condolences to his family for their loss.

Doug Walker

So sorry to hear this news. Hugs to you and your family during this difficult weekend and always.
