To the family of John Byron,
My deepest sympathy on your loss. I had the pleasure of knowing John through the St Therese Foundation board of directors. We chatted frequently about the "College" of St. Thomas and both being born in Waseca.
My thoughts and prayers are with you

For John's family:
Through the wonderful legacy perpetuated by John at F & B, my company has remained with this law firm for over 50 years. I can't help but think that John's presence there significantly influenced future quality 'hires' who now also emulate John's precepts. His wisdom and sage counsel were givens, but surely his engaging style must indeed been a reflection of his contentment with life and his deep love for his family. I was pleased to know John.

My condolences to the Byron Family on John's death. His vision and instincts were prophetic as he guided my medical group out of a tangled structure into a professional corporation. The concept proposed was novel and untested, but his vision and rational proved valid. I am continually grateful for his wisdom and personal warmth in this and subsequent encounters in the Edina community.
Sincerely, E. Duane Engstrom, M.D.

Mike, Molly, Jimmy, Martha, Joey and Annie: Dad and your Dad were chums; and my Mom and your Mom were even better chums. Between Mom, Dad and Hanky (not to mention a number of other deceased friends) there is some seriously fun Irish fiddlin' goin' on up there with your Dad's arrival. Life after death is what our FAITH is all about…take the positives and continue forward one step at a time confident that smiles and love really are what they want for us. Peace.

Byron Family,
Your Dad was a very special man and will be remembered in our prayers. When I started with the firm in 1988, I remember seeing him on the floors in the International Centre and thought wow..he is such a nice man, he always made you feel special by striking up a conversation, using your name. The firms success is contributed to many people, but certainly your Dad! It was a pleasure to know him and he will be missed by many.
