I only recently heard of John's death and I'm just saddened to the bone. He was the most genuine guy you'd ever meet. I knew him casually in 1988 friend of a friend then I worked with him in 1999 at Russell Stover in Iola KS. We spent countless hours together there where I was lucky enough to really know him the way people do when you see them every day. My prayers are with his family whom I never met. He was a very proud man and was irreplaceable. This is a terrible tradgedy.
