John and his wife were our neighbors and they knew me literally my entire life, and watched as my parents headed to the hospital to have me. They were always so kind and such good people. They came to my graduations, wedding and other important events. They were bonus family. Rest in peace John!

John worked in our property management department for a number of years rising to the office of senior property manager. He was a hard working, dedicated and loyal associate. John understood the challenges of property management and started each day with a smile on his face that he quickly became known for. Even after he left our company, John would send a Christmas card to our family to let us know what he was up to. He was definitely one of the good ones.... It is time to rest John. Let God take it from here.
