Not sure what to say?

I enjoyed sharing stories with John during visits to his office at Sharis. I worked for Wang Labs. and resolved computer problems when they cropped up. I always looked forward to those visits.

Gloria , I am so sorry to hear about John Just found out today . Residents at Willamette Cove appreciated his support in our lost battle With J Jennings. Enjoyed working at the Hardware through the years. Fred and Dionne James Waterford, Michigan

John & I had some great times in high school. It was up to us to get the May Day tree every year. We had some great smelt fishing trips. And water skiing was the best (stopping and sinking in the sludge is memorable). So sorry we seldom connected again. It was always my intention. My prayers go with you Gloria..Bob Thorington

Gloria,
I was very sorry to hear of Johnny's passing. He was a special person and will be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Gloria,
We are so sorry for your loss. We will keep you in our prayers.

So many wonderful memories of our childhood together! Johnny was my best friend throughout our youth & best man in our wedding. So many great times: playing in the woods; rowing, waterskiing & fishing on the Willamette; skiing at Mt. Hood; in a rowboat inside the house during the big Nov flood, catching a crow on the island; etc, etc. Those were joyous years. Our thoughts & prayers are with Gloria & family at this time. We send our love, Denny and Rosalie Nast

Fishing and clam digging at Westport, Wash. In the late 1950's -waterskiing and camping on "the island" in the Willamette across from Johns house in high school to our brief visit at the airport in Las Vegas - Thankyou Johnny and bless you Gloria and family- Love to you all- Aloha and Mahalo Nui Loa -Tom and Aileen Steele

It was with great sadness we read of John's passing this morning. We so cherish memories of John's wonderful lust for life, and of our great times together over the past almost-40 years with you Gloria, and John. We mourn with you, and offer our sincerest condolences to you and the entire family. With all our love, Ed and Sarah Collier.

Gloria, I'm so sorry for your loss. I met John when he was the CFO at Shari's Mgmt. We spent quite a bit of time together as my company (WANG Labs, Inc.) provided the mini computer system to Shari's. I'm not sure but we might have crossed trails at John Fought also. I have not heard from John in a long time. I sure enjoyed working with him.
