I heard of John's passing with great sadness. I have been associated professionally with John since the mid-1990s and knew him to be a true pubic servant - one always striving to do the right things for the right reasons. While it will not reduce the pain of your loss, know that his goodness, intellect and spirit will be missed by far more people than you can possibly imagine.
