Dear Andrea, Andy, and Bobby. I was very saddened by the passing of John. When I was married to him he taught me many things .We had a lot of fun. My parents loved him. He was very respectful and funny. I was so happy for him when he finally had a family with children. I will pray for all of you that you find peace with this great loss. Barbara.

Wow. I'm just speechless...and unfortunately late to the party. John and I became friends through the AEMA. Probably the first 5 or 6 years I didn't even buy anything from Mercury but we would sit and talk in his booth. Eventually I started buying things from him. He was always very thorough and the orders were always right. I'll never forget when we had the convention in Jacksonville and he invited me and a couple of other equipment managers to the factory. He always told me it was a...
