John's passion for the insurance business was limitless. I had the opportunity to work with John while he was at Aon, and he encouraged me to take on my current global responsibilities. He was the consummate deal-maker, and I'm certain he is "working his magic" up in Heaven...

I never met John, but heard about him so many times from Erin. I know he will be missed by the family. My thoughts are with you.

John was my boss for several years at Marsh & McLennan. He was a very compassionate man. My sympathies to Renee & Erin. He was way too young.
