I am SO VERY SHOCKED and sorry to hear of John's passing. I thought so highly of him; he was a brilliant person with whom I had the pleasure of working. My sincere condolences are extended to his family..

My sincere condolences to the family at this difficult time. May you all seek God for comfort, peace, strength and support (2 Cor 1:3).

My heart is broke. I cant believe no one in Beaumont told me of John's passing. He was the most brilliant person I ever worked for. I think coffee fueled that intellect. I should have bout stock in Folgers. John mentored me as I slowly took over the reigns of the switch gear testing division at M and I . His brilliance, his friendship and his patience will never be forgotten. I loved you man! Bonnie, I hope you're doing ok almost 2 years later. God bless you too.
