Linda, Lane and Cooper; I am so sorry for your loss. John was a longtime friend, teammate, roommate bigger than life guy who was always there when you needed him, always there when we got in trouble growing up and many memories that I am grateful to have been a part of. He was passionate about a lot of things and I knew when he met Linda it would be a perfect fit. I am sure he was a great Dad.God Bless

I was so devastated and shocked to hear of John's sudden passing. He was a great friend and colleague. This empty desk next to mine is difficult to see. I will sure miss our long discussions about Rugby, debates over the greatness of Tom Brady, and helping with miscellaneous computer questions and issues that John found so frustrating. ;0)

Linda, Lane and Cooper, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and I pray that God will comfort you all during this difficult time.
