John has been a good and true friend for so many years, from our kindergarten days in the Cypress/Ruthfred hood to our more recent reunions on my visits back to town. He saw every moment as an adventure, an opportunity for fun and sometimes a little mischief. I will always remember listening to scratchy rock records in John's bedroom, sleepovers on the porch on balmy summer nights, midnight rides around Johnson School on our sting rays, cruising the South Park pizza joints, paint fights in art class (John always won), whacking weeds and waving at cars on the road crew, and learning how to be working stiffs in the real world at Shadyside. Rest in peace, my friend, your spirit will shine on.

Dear Kim,

I'm so sorry to hear about JT. I worked under him several years ago at A.R. I'm grateful for the opportunity I had to work with him and to learn from him. He always had a smile and was very encouraging and supportive. I'm so sorry for your families loss. I'll be praying God's peace and comfort for you and your family.

Kim and family,
I am so saddened to hear of John's passing. John was so refreshing. Always happy to see us, a great smile, and would always have something funny to share. A genuinely good man. May God give you strength and courage as He wraps His loving arms around you.

I worked with John on the River's Edge plan when I was the Oakmont Boro Manager. He was always a pleasure to work with. He was kind, honest, accommodating and knowledgeable. I am truly sorry to hear of his passing. My deepest sympathies to his family. -Lisa Cooper Jensen.

The adjectives are endless in describing John! He brought a warm and enthusiastic smile to every room he entered. He was a terrific example of a loving husband, father and grandfather! It only took one meeting with John to consider him a friend and someone you would like to spend time with! Anyone that knew John will miss him and treasure the privilege of knowing him.

JT was the perfect Boss! Stern, but a great sense of humor. He treated us like family and always listened to our needs and suggestions. We always strived to make him proud and get the job done. He will be missed at our Tuesday employee meetings and we will miss seeing him ride through The Rivers Edge in his silver Rover.

May God watch over his family.
