The world need more great men. John was one of the greatest. He was a friend and a mentor. He was one of those personalities that even though I had not seen him in a while, I think of him so often and always, always, with a smile and a gratefulness that my life has been filled with people that actually make life fun and better in so many ways. We have lost a treasure and Denise, my heart is with you and we all grieve with you.
