When I first met John he was loud with a wonderful smile. He always asked about how school was going and how he was proud I was working and going to school. When he met my husband he said to him you got a great person there. John was always smiling, kind, gave his opinion on things, funny, but most of all a great guy. Working with him I will always remember lobby and saying " what the eff" lol We would all laugh and catch up. Getting the news of his passing was a shocked. My heart goes out to Francesca and the family. Rest In Peace John, smile and be pain free.
