Not sure what to say?

I've known John since I was a very young child and he was a very close friend of my brother, Charles. Best wishes to his family - I'm sure he will be sorely missed.

One additional note. In the Milton High School Band, John played flute and piccolo. At the spring concert of his junior (and graduating) year (1 year early), he played a still-memorable professional quality solo in John Philip Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever. Brought the audience to its feet. And gave me a lasting memory.

John was my first Boss at SRL. John, Larry Holden worked together on many WPAFB Projects. After John started VII and Dick Holmes and I started EIS, we still worked together often. John's company VII was one of our key suppliers of metal fabrication and painting services. John will be missed.

John was a childhood through college friend. His engineering contributions will have a lasting and positive impact on the world. John and his family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I HAVE MANY MEMORIES OF WORKING WITH JOHN AT SRL. HE WAS MY FIRST BOSS!I WAS AN EE ALSO. WE WORKED ON MANY PROJECTS FOR WPAFB. HE HAS BEEN IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR MANY YEARS. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU,JOHN, AND HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN SOMEDAY.LARRY
