It’s with a heavy heart that I check back in on John and his loved ones. I think of John every day. Truly a man of principal, yet a hilarious character in real life. I miss his gregarious spirit. His rough edges, yet a compassionate soul. John was a student of life. An observer and witty commentator on what he experienced. I miss those deep conversations at the end of a shift over a cold beer. I miss his council. I am grateful for John’s influence and participation in my life
