    I am very sorry to hear of John's passing. I will miss him visiting me at my section at PNC Park. I looked forward to his visits and our friendly and upbeat conversations. He always had a smile on his face. My sympathies go out to all of his family members and his friends.

    I was sorry to hear of John's passing. I worked with John for many years back in the "Mobay" - Engineering Days. I always found it a pleasure to talk with him. Deepest sympathy to the family.

    I am sorry to read John has passed. He was my supervisor in the late seventies at Mobay. I remember John as a very good and moral person. I have often thought of John and mentioned him to people at Bayer who also knew him.
