What can I say?
John was a guy straight out of Central Casting--stern, gruff, and yet sensitive when necessary.
I loved working for him and with him.
To this day, I regret not being able to attend his funeral.

A sweet, funny and driven guy who loved his job and his co-workers.
We, his co-workers loved him back.
They simply don't make 'em like John any more. Pity.
And yes, I was both a co-worker and a friend. As was everyone who ever worked with, or for, him.
