I will always be grateful to John as he hired me, 35 years ago, at Cessna. It was an honor to work with him, and learn so much from his aviation and design experiences. Many laughs at work as he had a way of making any story hilarious. He talked often about Norma, and Nancy and Tracy. It was evident how important his family was to him.
John will always be a legend at Cessna and we will always remember his impact.
A long life well lived.
