Stephanie & Family:
I was so sorry to hear of John's passing. I have many fond memories of our time together working on issues in Darien. John's sense of humor, good cheer and common decency made work in the public sector worth while. He will be missed!

The Sabanosh Family - I am saddened to learn of John's passing. I was his secretary in the late 70s-early 80s at C&L in the Danbury office. It was my first full time job after college. I can vividly remember the yellow van and the softball games. Although we lost touch over the years, I have some great memories and will never forget him. I pray he is at peace and that all of you will be comforted with your own memories. God's blessings on each of you.
