I will never forget John. He was a breath of fresh air at Unisys and a down to earth boss. RIP my good friend.

I will never forget John and think about him often. I met John in my early 20s while we worked together at McDonald's in Burlington, MA in 1979. Many people would not believe that John Saylor ever worked as a minimum wage McDonald's employee, but he did, and he was the hardest worker and best crew member in the history of McDonalds. We became good friends and shared an apartment together in Woburn for two years. He was the best man at my wedding in 1981. Now in my late 60s,I will never stop wondering, but will never know why he had to die so young, when he seemed to "have it all."

I just googled John's name for some reason and only now have discovered he died. I worked with John at Accenture in Boston many years ago. He as always a nice man, and I think gave popcorn away at Christmas ... some sort of fund-raiser for a good case no doubt. My belated condolences t John's family.

I was shocked and saddened to hear the news. I knew John for a very short time but had the opportunity to work with John and always looked forward to a surprise call to "catch up" after we had both gone off on different paths. He was a wonderful mentor, an inspiring professional and always a cheerful and uplifting friend. The world is less for John's loss.

Georgia and family,
I had the pleasure of knowing John for close to 20 years thru Scouting. I will miss his friendship, his honesty and his sage advice. It is also worth mentioning that at the graduation ceremony for the YMCA Training Inc. program this May, John was remembered by one of the students in her speech, as a "great, caring and funny instructor." He will be missed deeply by so many. My heartfelt sympathies go out to all of you.

Georgia...
Please know how saddened I am to have learned of Johns' passing the other day. I am so glad I had the opportunity to get to know him over the years! He always had the ability to walk (or run) into my shop at the most perfect times . A day could be dragging along and he would just brighten up the room. His demeanor and laugh were always infectious to all he came in contact with. I will truly miss seeing him and the great talks we have had over time. Please let Elizabeth and Jack know that I am thinking good thoughts for them and that you all are in my prayers... Remember that if there is anything you need while in Chatham you know how to contact me.
Take care and God Bless...

I was deeply saddened to hear of John's passing. He was always a smiling face from our time at Accenture to Tanglewood to a coffee shop in Back Bay. He will be missed. My condolences to all those who remember him.

I was shocked and deeply saddend to learn of John's passing. I worked with and for John during the brief time he spent at Unisys Corp. and he was a breath of fresh air. John was a very quick study and he 'got it' real quick, bringing a perspective not seen often. John and I established a bond having both come from Andersen and the bound continued after he left Unisys. Every few months, John would reach out with a phone call asking how I was doing because he cared about people. John was a positive, happy guy and I will miss him greatly. John loved his family and he loved being a father. My heart goes out to Georgia and their children.

Georgia:
Anne and I were very sorry to hear of John's passing. We knew and will remember John as a warm, outgoing person, quick with a quip and even more quick with a smile. He was a terrific supporter of the Sugarbush community and, more than most people, he appreciated the beauty and the tranquility of the northern woods. We will miss him.

Georgia, Jack and Elizabeth,
It was with tremendous shock and sadness to hear of John's passing. We shared so many experiences growing up. It was a wonderful to see John again last year after not seeing him for several years. He was the very best of friends I've ever had. My heart and prayers go out to you as a family during this trying time.

Dear Georgia, Elizabeth and Jack,
We can't possibly express our sadness at the passing of a remarkable man, who was a great husband, devoted Father and true friend. Our vivid memories of John will live on forever...days spent at lighthouse beach, playing wiffleball, swimming, fishing off the boats, making s'mores in the backyard, losing to you in gin rummy and sequence.Our memories of John will warm our hearts always....like our summertimes together in Chatham. Love always, The Kelley's

I was shocked to learn of John's passing. I only knew John for a little over a year through the HUB ANGELS but he was one of the first to welcome me and made me feel part of the group. I will miss him and I am certain all those that he came in contact with share your sorrow.

I wanted to send my condolences to the family of John saylor. I'm one of the students at Training, Inc where he went to, to volunteer as a mentor to several students at Training, Inc. I want to say that I didn't get to spend a lot of time with John one-on-one but the time that I did spend with him in class I could tell that we was a terrific funny guy. I wish that I could of known him much better. I will always remember that first impression of John in my heart. May God continue being with the family of John Saylor.
