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.
