John was the sweetest, kindest co-worker. Always ready to help and support others and always with a smile and twinkle in his eye. I enjoyed John's humor and caring. He was so supportive and committed.
What a wonderful man, such a privilege to know him and spend time with him. With love, Pam Buckley
