Life is never what we expect. Always sad to lose a loved one under any circumstance. I worked with John at Roadway Express in Salt Lake City and was a special friend of his for many many years. He had a beautiful family and he will be missed. My love to all!

We were very sorry to hear of the passing of John. We had been good friends with John for many years. Ronnie worked with John at Roadway and played many many games of gold with John. He will surely be missed and all our sympathy goes out to his family.
