Not sure what to say?

Beth, Shannon and Brent,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I truly enjoyed working for (and with) John. He always acknowledged our wedding anniversary by asking if Jerry was still hanging in there :) It meant so much to me that he did remember. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

So sorry to hear about your loss. You know that God and Jesus are in the best position to comfort us when we lose a loved one in death.

I am so sorry to hear this. I have great memories of working with John back in B1202. He always gave credit to others and he was so very wise. He was very passionate about his work and widely respected. Such a sad loss....

So sorry to hear about John. Always enjoyed talking to him. Elizabeth and Shannon, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I was so sorry to learn of your loss. I only meet John a few times but each time he had a smile on his face and was ALWAYS very friendly.

Beth, I was very sorry to hear of John's passing. I enjoyed working with him, as well as you, over the years and will miss him. Peg and I will also remember the good times at the Trellis, and hold you and extended family in the Light.

John has a deep and abiding impact on all of us who worked with him- a great teacher and mentor. He challenged us to be better, to do better- I still use his test for understanding a problem: "what is the worst thing that could happen" and "what are you going to do when it does (happen)?" When John praised us, we knew we had earned it. We will miss him greatly.

My sincere condolences for your loss. I remember John as a charismatic, fun-loving guy. His light will be missed.

John Fedors was a class act. I had the privilege of working with him at NASA on numerous flight projects. As a neophyte line manager, I was so fortunate to have someone like John school me in aspects of project management that have served me well throughout my career. He was patient, firm and direct. John wanted the mission to succeed and for all of the people involved to succeed as well. He mentored many members of my former branch and his NASA legacy lives on in their activities. I only...
