To the Edwards family please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your loved one. I worked with John at Raytheon. He was a true gentleman to work with. He knew that I enjoyed sailing, and gave me a poster of a schooner sailing out of Portsmouth harbor. It has been hanging in my sun porch for over 25 years. I am reminded of John whenever I view it.

I worked with/for John at Raytheon in Andover, Shawsheen to be exact...the year was 1969/1970. John was the nicest, sweetest person I knew.
I am very sorry for your loss.
