John, your wit and presence will be missed, rest in peace.

John was my mentor and my friend. In the early days of knowing John at NBC I was always "the punk kid' to him.
A Moniker I knew came from a man who deeply cared about helping young people in the profession he so dearly loved.

John's life was devoted to selfishness and helping others. I owe him and his memory much.
RIP
