My first boss. Wonderful mentor. Played a joke on me the first 3 weeks of work, with a water squirting toy into the face. He was also a kind and compassionate gentleman. My condolences to his beloved family.

My sincere sympathies to John's family. He was such a nice man to us on the 33fl and our Boston Edison memories... my first boss, kept us in-line, with a joke or two as well.
