I remember Teresa more than John, and associate both with UT Knoxville and younger days. I mourn the losses, and regret never having met the kids..

Brother John was such a great person. Very nice, very smart person with a huge heart. We have lost a good one. The last time I spoke w/him I was at Ft. Sanders Hospital as an employee. Prayers for the family.

It was a pleasure to work with John. I got the privilege to work with him in the past two years on two projects that require different skils: laser structuring of surfaces and profilometry. John approached his work with and us with lots of respect and consideration. But John is an even bigger loss for the family. My thoughts and prayers are with all those left behind.

John's eldest daughter and I have been best friends since the 6th grade. He'll always hold a special place in my heart for showing me that it's okay for an adult to have a wacky sense of humor and enjoy rock and roll. His daughters loved and respected him a great deal. I love Alyx, Amanda, and Rebecca and it breaks my heart that I can't be with them in this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of a long lost friend. I remember him fondly from church events and youth retreats. He always was fun to be around. My prayers for you all to find peace in your memories and God's love. He will be missed.

Worked with John way back in the Mid 80's at American Matrix/Phoenix International...he was hard to forget....his frame was befitting of his name.

John had a delightful sense of humor and could talk intelligently about almost any topic. I really enjoyed the occasional late lunch at the back table when he and I chatted over our microwaved "gourmet" lunches. Claudia and family, may God's peace and comfort that is beyond understanding surround you and give you hope.
