I worked with John a long time ago and still tell stories about our nursing days together....without a doubt, he was one of my all time favorite coworkers. Not only were we coworkers, but also became close friends. I will miss his rib cook offs and poker parties, we had many heart to heart talks working night shift together and he always made me laugh. He was truly a wonderful person and I will never forget him and always keep the memories close to my heart

Condolences to the family especially John's daughter and grandbabies.. He was such a good man with heart of gold. Never have I ever met someone as sweet and genuine as him. An amazing man he was. He was and always will be a part of the AC family. So truly thankful that we crossed paths.
