John, may you rest in peace.
I only knew John for 2 days when I went to DFW to fly in February. He was a nice guy; let me fly the plane and never 'back seat' drive! He made sure that I was comfortable before we do anything. Our conversations were so interesting that I told my family about it right after I got home. John will be missed and I will also miss his gorilla, which flew with him all over the world in all kinds of planes.

I can't begin to detail the sadness I feel personally. John has helped me my whole career but more than that he's been a friend. I miss him now and I'll miss him for the rest of my life. I have never met a man that played the game better. I love you John.... Greg
