I recently found out about John´s passing by reading a Sundt article. I had the opportunity and pleasure of working with John on several projects. He was an accomplished engineer and project manager. Always calm and collected and a problem solver. John was a very nice person and always a pleasure to be around. My heart goes out to his family for their loss. J. Doug Pruitt
