So sad to hear about John's passing, John & Julie were wonderful neighbors at Cold Stream Pond in Lowell, Maine. Always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. We experienced wonderful times on the lake, even the morning I woke them to seeing a moose swim ashore and come up behind their garage to rest for hours before moving along. My heartfelt sympathy Julie to you and your family, John will be missed.

I was privileged to work with John as his assistant in the Kollsman MCTNS project. I am so sorry to learn of his passing and very much wish I'd known of his proximity to "my place".
John had a wonderful commitment to excellence for the program we were assigned. His enthusiasm and sense of humor were the leaven to some frequent 'trying' days and situations. A good friend in or out of the office.
My deepest regrets to you, Julie and all of your family.

Julie, Matt, Susie and family,
Just wanted to express my deepest sympathy and condolences to you and John's entire family. It is a sad day to lose such a GREAT man, wonderful husband, Father and Grandfather. John was my mentor, but most of all my friend, for many years at Kollsman. We had so many great times in Israel together. Additionally, he was a father figure. I always think of John and how he would handle situations at work. He had the knack, He was a great manager and made me what...

We will miss Johns friendship. Loved swapping books with John , talking politics, gardening and watching war movies. We will miss meeting him on the road as we took our daily walks.

John will be surly missed. I worked for John at Kollsman MCTNS program for 3 years. John was a wonderful boss, with a great personality. My prayers will be with John and his family.

Sue & Matt, We're so sorry to hear about your fathers passing. What a wonderful man to have as your father. We spent many a great time sitting with him watching Pat's hockey games and discussing all sorts of things. I was never able to talk him out of his UMaine Bears support but had lots of fun in the process. He was a great man and we were lucky to know him for a short while.

We hope you're doing well in this difficult time.

Mike &...

Sending love and blessings of peace to John's family. I will always treasure his warmth, kindness and good nature. What a pleasure to have known him! Dudley Road neighbors have lost a dear friend.

My sincere condolences to all. I was fortunate enough to have worked with Johe at Kollsmans from 1978 until I relocated to a AZ in 1998. I have very fond memories of John and always had the upmost respect for him. He was a wonderful man and Im sure will be missed greatly.

Sue and Family, so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. He was such a nice man. I am sure he will be missed by many. God Bless You All
