I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of John. I worked with him at the auto auction a few years back. John was a good and decent man who had great sense and dry wit. He was well-liked by the staff and other officers he worked with. My thoughts are with John & his family during this difficult time.

It is hard to know what to say, John was special to me in so many ways. His humor, love, the way he played with my kids when they were little, and his story-telling are some of the things I will miss about him. I feel truly blessed to have had him in my life for these past 34+ years. He will be really missed. Special love and condolences to all of the family.
