I'm so very sorry to hear of John's passing. I worked for him at Putnam back in the 70's and he was a great boss as well as a good friend. My thoughts and prayers go to the whole family. May God bless you all and may God bless John.

Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts. My dad lived a long and happy life. He had a battle in the end with his dementia but he is at peace now with our Lord. We will miss him.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I was fortunate to have caddied for John one of the years that he won the Club Championship. It was a fun time. I also helped John with the high school golf team. There was never a time that I did not enjoy being around John. A gentleman, a friend who will be missed but never forgotten. May the Lord be with you in this time of need.
