Not sure what to say?

I was so sorry to hear about the death of John. My sincere condolences to his family whom he talked about all the time. I worked with John for many years while he was at NIDR. He was a great colleague, mentor and friend. Although I was not directly under his supervision, he always had time for me and was so helpful. We were so sad to see him leave to go to Eli Lilly.

My condolences and hugs to Virginia and the rest of their family on the death of John. John was a very special person. He supported the careers of women in science, and mentored them to success when there were very few lab leaders to do that. He was a great scientific leader in the fields of bone and osteoporosis.

I have many fond memories of working with Dr. Termine on the Evista Team and Forteo. I especially treasure the time he and Virginia welcomed Beth Page, Monica Taylor, Nelda Keltner and myself to their beautiful Kiawah Island home.

My deepest sympathy to Virginia and family.

What a brilliant and honorable man, full of integrity and kindness. A man of family and...
