Sherrie,
I did not have your address and came across this online...thought of you at the time of John's passing. My deepest condolences to you and your girls..It's been years but I have thought about you both as the years have gone on, in fact at the class reunion meeting the Saturday before John's passing I asked if anyone had been in contact with you. So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

John and I worked together for many years at Ford in the Dearborn Stamping Plant. He was an excellent and enthusiastic trainer who was always upbeat and happy.
I didn't know about his parkinson's and I'm so saddened to hear of this loss to us all. We will surely talk about him with much fondness at our next M&C Retirement party in May. John was usually the bartender at this event, every year, so he could talk to everyone and fellowship while "working".
Blessings and love to his family and friends. we surely lost one of the truly good guy, among us.
(I was the Employee Resource Coordinator in our plant and worked with John on many tasks and work assignments)
