I have never met a person who was as genuine as DJ. Regardless of how busy he was he would make sure to take time to say hello. He was the friendliest person that I knew. What a pleasant person.

I can think of no stronger bond I ever had in the pool industry than my bond with DJ. I know many will miss him as I will, but I just wanted to let his family and friends know how much I loved him.

Sincerely in my prayers
