Yes I was lucky to work with John ay both Price Waterhouse and Petrolite and learned that the quality of work was gained from asking the questions and understanding the answers not from talking about yourself. More important, was that commitment to family was more important than the job. Yes, John understood the job-family balance and passed it on to me. I enjoyed our conversations and will remember his advice that now lives on with my grandsons and my daughters..

Not sure this is the John Reardon I knew since there was no picture and very sparse info on work history. In any event, the John I knew worked at Tretolite
among other jobs. That goes back many years and my memory isn't what it used to be. So sorry to read of his passing. Hope you are well Maureen.
