I was privilege to know John during his time with MetLife. After he left us, I looked forward to his visits and he always left me with a joke he wanted to share. John is one of my favorite people.

Sorry for this family's loss. I enjoyed the company of Mr. Fong one time, and it was over a pot of delicious chicken gumbo.
