John was an all-America not only in football but in all his dealings with family, friends and business. When I started my freshman year at St.Mary's it was all about "Podesto from Modesto". God Bless out dear friend!

I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. My thoughts are with his family and friends. I met John when our office (Tuttle & Van Konynenburg) did some work for him and his family. Such a kind man. The obituary is lovely. So many accomplishments in his long life. Thank you, Mr. Podesto, for serving our country.
