Dear Jan, Duncan and I were so sorry to hear of John's passing. We heard from Robert yesterday. I didn't know John as well as Duncan but remember him as a "happy warrior". Creative and engaging - always smiling and approachable. I know how important his family was and I am so sorry for your loss of a wonderful mate and your children's loss of a devoted father. Fondly, Mary Ann McPherson

I'm sorry to hear of John's passing and send condolences to his family.

I'm so saddened to hear of John's death. John put together a healthy team of marketers at ADP Network Services. We were productive and successful--John's guidance was present but never obtrusive. I think it was joy -- a quiet joyfulness -- that he carried with him. Jan, and Kosta family, my deepest, heartfelt condolences. Please find me, I'd like to share that Manhattan with bitters with you.

John's passing is very personal to me. He was a great guy and a dear friend. We shared so many wonderful times together in New York City and on Yale Alumni Chorus trips abroad. He was always cheerful and full of energy. He was a "people person" in the truest sense of that phrase. I will miss the in-person times we shared, but I will always remember him for his strong character and his love of others, especially his family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. We have fond memories of John and hope that the many memories you have will comfort you.

Although it´s been 20+ Years since I´ve seen this wonderful man, he always held a special place. He always made me laugh and feel so welcomed. Thank you for all the memories and my deepest condolences to the Kosta family.

It is with complete sadness that I learn of John's passing. I met John when John and Jan joined Katie and John on my first trip with Huron Tours to Chelsea Flower Show in London and Rye, England. Imagine my delight when John and Jan were on the tour to the Philadelphia Flower Show and we were able to visit again. There simply aren't words to describe what a beautiful family John and Jan raised. It's a testament to the man himself. John was full of life, love and laughter. His loss will be...

I worked for John for several years when he built the beautiful new building on State Street. He was especially kind to me when my father passed. My sincere condolences to the family.
