My deepest sympathy to Luann and Katherine. John and I started together at the State, first being temps hired through Kelly’s Services. He was a wonderful person. He will be greatly missed.

John is missed in the sea of cubicles. A unique person ready with a smile, a hug and happiness with living. While I didn’t work with him directly I always enjoyed seeing him when I walked into his area in the maze of cubes. He is and will continue to be missed. My hearfelt condolences to his family for their loss. I wish you comfort in the future.
“Always remember Love!”

Luann,
I am sorry for your loss. I know John endured so much with his illness, and you and Katie were right beside his side through all of it.
Remember all the fun times, like your trips to Chicago and the memories will help get through the rough times.

Knowing John changed the course of my entire life because he introduced me to Bryan Ward and out of that union we had 3 wonderful children and one beautiful grandson. John was (is) a very kind and loving human being. He treated everyone with respect and made them feel warm and genuinely cared about. He is the first of my childhood friends to pass away and it has hurt very deeply. I can only imagine how his beloved wife and sweet daughter must miss him. But his essence lives on and we will all see him again. Until then, keep the light on, John.
