Jill and Family,
I am so saddened to hear of John's passing and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. John was always in a good mood, with a friendly greeting, when I'd see him at Eagle Watch Golf course and I was so impressed with his golfing ability - must have been that hockey player swing that so many carry over to golf! I also enjoyed the occasional run-in with he and Jill at Monterrey's in Woodstock. RIP, John

So sorry to here, my sympathy to the family. It was always great seeing John when he came to play golf at Atlanta National. He always had a smile on his face and loved the game. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Jill & family-
So sorry to get this news...Johnny was one of a kind! We grew up across the street and had some good family gatherings with John's Mom (Diane), step dad and the boys. John lit up a room with his smile, was a hell of an athlete and most importantly a good friend. Sorry we did not do a better job maintaining contact but I understand he was a great family man and will be sorely missed by everyone with whom he had contact.
My deepest condolences.
