I just read of John's passing and wanted to let you know that we thought so highly of John. My husband, Jerry Worrell, was also an architect and they knew one another for many years. Jerry passed away in 2015. I just wanted to say that I remember John fondly. He was always such a pleasant person and good friend. Thinking of you and your family.

I'm so sorry to learn of John's passing. I recruited John to Ellerbe Becket in the 1980's and called him every year on his August 1 birthday. He would have been 72 years old today.
I called his work number and cell number and they were both disconnected - so I Googled him and saw his obituary.
John was a awesome man - he will be truly missed.
Please have Veronica call me at 612-817-5069.

Woke up this morning to the sad news about John. John and I grew up together in OKC. We played baseball and basketball together, and I was very happy when we both pledged Sigma Chi. Unfortunately, our lives took us in different directions, and we lost touch with each other except for Christmas cards each year, but I always remembered the great times we had together.Since I have no siblings, I felt like John was not only a fraternity brother, but a real brother as well, and I will truly miss...
