Jan and Family,
My most profound sympathies.
I worked with John for many years and always enjoyed seeing his smiling face.
He was a dedicated worker, family man, and church goer.
I will miss him considerably.
He was one of the nicest people I have ever known.
But mostly, he was my friend.
Sincerely,
Mike
I met john at the George Eastman Museum a few years back. We had a mutual friend Ann Britt, a docent at the museum. Although I didn’t know him well, I could tell John was a real gentleman and a good friend to many. I will miss when he would come in with his sister to enjoy a coffee and time together in the cafe.I am sorry for your loss.
