John was a good guy to work with. He kept me laughing and having fun at work. He will be sorely missed.
To all of John´s family, I would extend my deepest sorrows. He is with Ann now. I think that he died of a broken heart. He used to talk about his daughters and family. He was so proud of them. God bless him!
