I worked with John Mann for many years and saw him daily. John was a man "after God's heart". No matter where he was he was always able to pick up on whether the person he was talking to...needed some prayer. He was quick to bow his head and pray for you and quick to give you an encouraging word. He had a great sense of humor and loved laughing at himself too. John will be missed by many. I am John touched many peoples lives that we will never know about and for that I am grateful. Everyone smiled when someone at work said.....You're the Mann John!! He was loved.
