John was a co-worker at Honeywell for many years. We worked very closely during that time and he was such a great help with our many difficult tasks. We continued to stay in touch after our retirements. John was also instrumental in helping me with my path to find the Lord. I know that God has a special place for John in Heaven. Rest peacefully my good friend.
