John, you were one of my two best friends. From the time we met at Penn Tech until the last time we shot together at Rosedale, every hour together or on the phone was a special part of my life. Almost a year has passed before I could bring myself to write this. I have missed you every day my friend.

John you will be missed. All of those new plants we started up together in Asia were enjoyable because of people like you. You were a dedicated friend that I could count on no matter what the task. I will see you again in Heaven buddy.
