Jeanie - I'm so sorry to hear of your husband's passing. I had no idea, and just found out today. My mom had passed a few weeks before, and I had been out of the office. I was so sad to hear. I never got to say goodbye to you, either before you left. I'm so sorry.
Patty - I'm sorry to hear of your brother's passing. Jeanie has kept me up to date over the years on how you were doing. So sorry to hear that this happened so suddenly.
You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

I just received some information from Hughes Co. And was absolutely SHOCKED to read of John’s passing. On a business level I’ve known John for a long, long time. He was a pleasure to deal with. He had a kind demeanor and would alway extend himself to help in any way he could. We offer our deepest sympathy to his family and his co workers and friends. I didn’t know him as well as you but it’s a real sad time for his clients too. R.I.P.

We remember John with great fondness and will always remember his supervision of the boys’ trip to Colorado - and the serendipitous visit to Coors Field on player picture day.
