To Linda and Family,
My wife Linda and I are greatly saddened to learn of John’s passing. He was always a steady friend and advisor to me through all the years I worked for our business, starting in high school and continuing up to John’s retirement. John was well liked and respected by all, especially the supplier representatives who came to our office. You can all be proud of John’s legacy, and know that many others share many good memories and a sense of loss.
