I want to extend my condolences and good wishes to all John's family and friends. John gave me my first job out of college working for Computer Horizons and Bell Labs. I'll forever be grateful to him for launching my career. He was a great mentor -- so smart and quick. He will not be forgotten. May you have comfort and peace of mind after this difficult loss.
