Worked with John for decades. A great man. There was nobody I've ever met that was more into customer care and doing a quality job for his customers. I'm confident his kids will carry on the tradition. Best wishes to his family.

Although I only new John a short time. He was always friendly, helpful and a joy to work with. My prayers go out to his family in this difficult time.

I met John Bascom 23 years ago. As a business owner and family man John had high integrity, was honest, sincere, very service and detail oriented...and made me laugh almost every time I saw him. He was truly one of a kind-an Angel in disguise. Now he's an Angel in the skies.

I am very sorry to hear of the lost of your dear loved one. Psalms 66:19 says: " Truly God has heard; He has paid attention to the voice of my prayer." God hears our prayers and feels our pain. God can give You the strength needed to endure.
