By the time I first met John, he had already accomplished twice as much as what most of us will in our lifetimes. That didn't stop him from continuing to add to the lives of others. I was among the many beneficiaries of his advice, counsel and, often, not-really-deserved praise. I can understand why he was so successful as a businessman, friend and family member. He inspired and he motivated.

I am sorry to not have known John, but I have had the absolute honor to know his son Rick here in Charlotte. What an incredible legacy John has left in his son (grandkids and great-grandkids). Rick is thoughtful, faith-based, data-driven, loves life, family centered, and always helping and coaching others. I see so many similarities that honor John's legacy. - David Head

John was an intelligent, attractive man with a great sense of humor. He loved his family and was loved by them. He made people feel at ease and in conversation asked questions to go beneath the surface to learn more. I enjoyed those conversations in our infrequent times together. I considered him a friend.
