We are saddened to learn of John's passing. My husband spent some time working very closely with John and he thought very highly of him and had the utmost respect and admiration for him. John was always friendly and so very interesting to talk with. He will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with the family during this most difficult time. May God grant you comfort and peace.
