So sorry to learn of John’s passing. I hope it was peaceful. During our work years together I came to like and respect Jon very much.Deepest condolences to the family. Unfortunately I am not able to attend the memorial due to a prior commitment for my sister. A gift will be made in his name for Alzheimer’s research. Warmest Regards
Thank you Vic. Dad had a rough three weeks but in the end he did pass peacefully. Sorry for the late response.
Thank you again.
Norma, Jay, and Donna
