“ I met John in 2003 and we worked together for many years. He was one of the most talented people I ever worked with. He was driven , competitive, and self motivated at work. I turned to him many times for solutions and he always delivered. When he went to Miller , I told him I could fill his job ; but I could never replace him. We kept in touch and I could hear and see the success he was having. I told him everything was in front of him and the future was bright. He loved life and we never had a conversation where he didnt talk about his family or ask me about mine. I'm going to miss the phone calls , the business questions , Hunting & Fishing stories....most of all, I'll miss my friend. I'll never forget you John! Prayers to Julie & the girls. I'm so sorry for yalls loss ! ”
