I was fortunate to have worked in John's group with Ray Sarraga for several years as a contractor. He was a kind and fair man. He was very supportive of me as a working mother, which I appreciated.

John was a wonderful person--always a kind word to say, always hard working, always helpful. John taught me a lot when I was new to the GMR Computer Science Dept. He will be deeply missed.
