I worked with John and his Father John from about fifty years ago until his Dad Passed and talked to John until our lives went their separate ways during the 1980's.
John and I shared a Block Rock connection and enjoyed speaking of it as the community we had known and which has now dispersed to the world.
Jon was a splendid person very personable and had a great sense of humor.
He was also one of the best electricians I ever encountered.
On the floating plant his reputation was impeccable and his company sought.
He lived for his family and sacrificed many things to further their happiness.

Dear Den, Dan,Jim,John and Diane,

I know dad is out of pain and in a much better place today but as a family our hearts are not. We have had months where we have all been consumed with e-mails, calls, meetings......but no more. So today instead of writing an e-mail, I am writing my thoughts to you on this page. Yesterday we came together, leaned on each other, something we haven't shared in a while with the busy lives we all have. That is what is getting me through this really difficult time anyway. I just want to say that I love all of you, and we will take it just one step at a time.....I told dad to say hi to mom.

Love you,
Sis
