My deepest sympathy goes to Anne and the boys and to the grandkids that John loved and talked about so much. John and I had worked together for a relatively short time but it was the best working relationship I have ever had the privilege to enjoy. From the day we met, we became good mates and he was always honest and fair in everything he did. John was intelligent and experienced in many fields and we had many deep and meaningful discussions on how to solve the problems of the world. John was a trusted friend and confidante and he will be sadly missed.
