I was just informed today of the loss of John. I worked as an EHS Manager in California for Foamex for several years and enjoyed working with him. I am in shock and saddened by your loss. May God comfort you in this time of sorrow. I remember him having lots of kids and his house as his screen saver on his computer. My prayers are with you. Robin Thorne

Uncle John was always there to make you smile and laugh. His hugs were the best. He often led boyfriend interrogations and was known to ambush you under the mistletoe before you were even through the door :) He lit up the room and brought people together. You could see how much he loved and took pride in his family. Holding you in my heart Aunt Mon, Monica, Tim, Kathleen, Kelly and Marybeth. I'm here if I can do anything at all.
