I knew John for the majority of his time while he was employed at Navy Federal. He was, to a fault, always optimistic when we talked in passing and would never fail to remind me how fast Christmas was approaching. My hear goes out to Darby and his family during this time and hope that they find comfort in John's everlasting memory among his friends and coworkers.

We would have breakfast with John at work, he was always good for a quick comment to make you smile or to lighten the mood. Was very proud of his kids and family, his face lit up when he talked about them. John was a good guy and will be missed.
