John was a man of many stories and was always a pleasure to talk with. I lost touch with him after he retired but would bump into him once every year or so. He was always the first to ask how you were doing. John, you will be missed, I'll catch up to you one day and we can then sit down for another enjoyable talk. Best to you (Mary) and you kids.
