Shamet Fmaily, - May God bless you in your time of sorrow and give you the strength to cope with your loss. John was a wonderful person, golfer, and client. I'v know John since 1994 when I started working at Hawk Research. I will remember John for the great golfer and dedicated father he was as he always talked about his childrens' accomplishments and how active they were in sports. God bless you Claudia.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.
John brought a smile to every kids face he joked with on the baseball field. He will be missed.
