I learned from John Wright two great lessons: (1) You're never too old to make new friends, and (2) keeping your eye on the prize doesn't mean you can't smell the flowers along the way. My family is a better family because of John.

John - It was a pleasure to have met you and work with you. It was clear you were a true visionary. You were a man with a strong heart and a strong philanthropist. Thoughts and prayers to the family. Sincerely, Renee Cveykus

Of all the things I can say about my Grandfather, I would like people to remember that he was a strong man with a heart of fire who accomplished every life goal he ever dreamt of. He impacted so many lives and was loved by all who knew him. We will all miss him very much and keep him in our hearts forever.
