My deepest sympathies for your loss. I knew John through his work at Orange Schools. He was a joy to be around, always sunny and positive. I loved his generous smile and how he joked around with everyone. He knew all the students, and kept a keen eye out for them, because he knew his job was more than just taking care of our buildings--He took care of our community. John will be missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew John as a coworker at Orange High School. He was such a wonderful person, always willing to help, always smiling and sharing a kind word. My deepest condolences.
