John and I worked at the Divoll Branch Library from 1970-1974. He was a great worker, excellent student and friend. I remember what a good heart he had and his sense of humor. We all miss you, John!

I would like to add my condolences to those of many people who remember John, as I do, with warmth and affection. I am so sorry for your loss. John was a good man and loved his family from the start, and from what I have been told, he died protecting those who were most precious to him.
