John touched so many lives in a positive manner. As a worldly gentleman, he always knew what to say. His love of his wife, children and country were always present. Z was a great friend and will be greatly missed.

Sorry to hear that we have lost John. I know he had a long, well fought battle. I always enjoyed our time together at Alcoa. He was a good friend and business associate. May he rest in peace.

John was my first manager at Michelin, this was back in October 1980. He was a true gentleman and a pleasure to work for. Later on, around 2003, he and Gayle moved to NE Ohio and we had lots of good times together; especially going to football games. He fought a good fight and in now in the arms of the Lord. RIP my friend.
