John, you were a blessing to so many people you do not even know of. You are now in a better place where there is no pain or sorry.
Rick and Nancy may the peace of God transcend the heaviness you are now feeling. We are here for you. Love, Connie

John was the lead operator at Kodak Elmgrove many years ago and helped me train when I transferred from Kodak Park. I will always remember him as Santa at the Christmas Party and how much fun we had. Truly a special guy who will me missed.

John, I was blessed to get to know you these past few weeks. I grew to love & care for you a great deal. I wish we would have had more time together. You were always worried about me being late for work. I'll miss updating you on my softball games. I'll miss you telling me not to work too hard each morning. Who knows, maybe I'll watch some wrestling now & then just for you. It was my honor to help you in your remaining days.
