To the McLaughlin family, I am so sorry to learn of John's passing. We worked together at the MBTA Law Dept. John was a pleasure to work with. We could always count on him for a good giggle, even when not so good things were happening. He was very courteous, professional and hilarious. I will remember Johnny V. as one of the good guys.
