Matt,
I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He was a great guy, and I am blessed to have known him. He is smiling down upon you, proud of the great man that he raised. He will most definitely be missed.

I remember working with John when he was with the ISEA and I was District President of ISEA and he was a tremendous professional and a great guy to work with. I am sure he will be missed.

I knew John as a high school teacher in Algona and shortly thereafter a lobbyist at the State Capitol for the Iowa State Education Association around the time we passed collective bargaining for public employees. John was a good friend.

I am so,so sorry. John helped me out when I had an issue that I couldn't handle by myself. I always appreciated that he advocated strongly for the teacher in such a professional manner I haven't seen since. The world of education is lesser because of his passing.
