John H. McConnell

We are indeed saddened by the loss of John McConnell earlier this year. I was privileged to meet with him and his team when I visited the company in 1996 from South Africa after watching a video of Wothington Industries by Tom Peters. I was so honoured and struck by the kindness and generosity of Mr McConnell that when I got home to South Africa we named our son, on his birth, Bryce McConnell Burke. Bryce is 12 years old today and our only regret is that we did not get the opportunity for...

God bless him, I am sure he was a great man who started from nothing but created everything.

My sincere sympathies to the McConnell family and all those who knew and loved John H. McConnell. My father worked at Weirton Steel at one time and my roots are in that tri-state area, although my home has been in Columbus for years.

For an upcoming temp interview with WI, I was exploring the company website. After reading 23 pages of touching tributes to Mr. McConnell – many of which put a lump in my throat – I felt compelled to include mine. I have always heard of the wonderful...

Sorry for the loss of MR.MAC..he was a great man, and provited me a great place to work for years....

Dear John P and family,
I was saddened to read in the news that your dad, a good and kind man, has died. As I think back on my 5 years of working at Worthington Steel Company in Louisville, KY (1972-1977) and working with you, I want to thank your dad for my experiences of living and working by such a simple, yet strong wonderful leadership style and philosophy ~ service for others and the golden rule. It continues to carry me through my life to this day.
My sympathy and prayers are...

I just meet Mr. McConnell history today as I was surfing the web after some information for a new business I want to start here in Spain. For the litle I know he must have been a great man as not many CEOs will walk the line to listen and talk to the "lower level" even knowing then by name. Humble and Blessed left a great sample of his doings for us to learn and follow. Good Luck on your next mission.

My deepest sympathy to the McConnell family in their time of loss. I can assure you that any man who lived and worked like Mr. Mac was doing it the right way in God's eyes. Bless you all for all you and Mr. Mac have done and will continue to do for the citizens of Ohio and the staff at Worthington Industries.

OUR DEEPEST SORRY TO THE McCONNELL FAMILY FROM YOUR CUSTOMER QUIMOBASICOS IN MEXICO

Dear J.P. and McConnell family,
My sincere sympathy and empathy for the loss of your dad & grandpa. My dad, Dr. C.L. "Rusty" Mcconnell passed away Easter day last year. He was your dad's first cousin. He called your dad "Jack" when they were little. My father often spoke of fond memories of Uncle Paul and Aunt Mary Louise McConnell. Saddly I don't remember meeting them, I was too young at the last family reunion I quess. I have only 1 picture of my grandpa Bill McConnell with his...
