Hi John,

We spent lots of time in the 60's chasing girls and contemplating careers. Although it ended way too soon, you lived your dream.

God bless you buddy, when my time comes, I'll look you up.

Regards, Glenn

John worked for me off and on over the years, we became good friends and remained so.

My heart goes out to John's Family.



I have worked with John on/off for the past 5 years, more so this past year. It has been a pleasure to work for/with John especially in what I call my dream job, engineering radio broadcasts for Sporting Events. He not only gave me this opportunity, he taught me how to do the job right.

John you will be greatly missed, yet never forgotten.



Sincerely,
