So very sorry to hear of John’s passing. He was a good friend and coworker to me and was an influence of kind friendship to my son David. We will miss him and his laughter. It was an honor to call him friend.

Charlie, so sorry to hear about the loss of your son, John. I only remember him when he was a youngster but recall him as a very likeable young man. I would be at his funeral but we’re in Florida until the end of April. You and John are in our thoughts and prayers.
Best regards
