I always enjoyed visiting with John when I would get back to the Kansas City Plant. He repaired many pieces of equipment for me over the years. He will be missed, but will also be remembered often.

When I heard about John's passing, the first thought that came to my mind was John's big smile. He was always happy and we spent many occasions talking about family. John loved his family and loved talking about his grandchildren. The other memory I have of John was his wonderful brownies. He would bring them to work and share with all of us. There were many times I would walk in and laying on my desk were those brownies. I knew John had been there. You have my deepest sympathy and I know John will be greatly missed.
