Sad news! John was one of great gentle-men and I enjoyed working with him at Sonalysts. He is being missed. My condolences to his family.

John was the best and sweetest gruff guy I've ever known and a great neighbor. Someone says "timecard" and I think of John fondly - with a little fear. LOL. Joanne, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. He was special.
