Betty,
We are so sorry for your loss. While working with John at the Vet. school for 15 years, I never saw him without that wonderful smile on his face and a kind greeting for everyone. He served in the Navy Reserve with my husband and they became good friends, fellow chiefs. My husband commented that John was the "perfect chief." It was an honor to know him and and he will be missed by many.
Fair winds and following seas, John.

Betty and family:
I had the good fortune to work with John for many years at the veterinary school. John had that rare quality of making those around him better. His high standards, smiling face, and can-do attitude contributed greatly to the education of many, many students. It was indeed an honor to have known him. I am sorry for your loss.
