I had the pleasure of working with John many years ago at Cross Country Clothes, and I have thought of him often. He was a great guy, always had a smile on his face, and I must say he always had some really funny words of wisdom, Working with him was never dull. There should be more people in this world with his sense of humor. He will never be forgotten, and always in my prayers.
