I worked with John at Spaulding Composites for many years. He always had a positive approach to life. We traveled together several times on company business. One of trips was to Los Angeles, CA. On our return trip home we were upgraded to 1st Class seats. Seated in front of us was Suzanne Somers. John said he would never forget this trip. I will miss John.

I worked with John at Spaulding Composites for many years. He was a great guy to work with and was a lot of fun. He was a big Detroit Piston fan when they beat the Bulls consistently in the playoffs he would never let me forget. Fortunately as a season ticket holder, the Bulls turned it around for the next eight years and I got my revenge. He was a great sport and had the Bulls send me some stuff that I still have and cherish. I would see him around the last several years and I always enjoyed our conversation. I will miss him.

John was ALWAYS seeking out ways to make life easier for OTHERS. He would do anything to help others as his heart was pure Red Cross. We were blessed to have him at our chapter.
You fought the fight valiantly! Rest in Peace, dear John.
All of us at the DeKalb County American Red Cross

When working at the Red Cross with John, even on his worst day he would have a smile and a joke ready. He would do anything for anyone and was a joy to work with. I am a better person for knowing him. Rest in peace John T.
