Read MoreI was very sorry to hear of John's death-- my sympathies to his family. John was my first boss at the Attorney General's office starting in 1979 and I had the honor of working with him until 1985. He was always helpful and supportive -- a valued colleague quite early in my career.

John was one of the finest people that I have ever known. He and I went to the Submarine Veterans meetings and John was very happy to be attending and visiting with fellow veterans. Visited John regularly at Mayview and he was always glad for those meeetings.
Will miss John.

As Chaplain of the Tarheel Base of U.S. Submarine Veterans, Inc., I take this means to extend our condolences to John's Family on the occasion of his sailing on his Eternal Patrol. His oar is at rest.
