I was so saddened to learn of the passing of John. I was a telecommunication coordinator for the State of Illinois for many years. John was assigned to our building and I worked with him on many difficult and demanding projects. I had the upmost respect for John. He took his job seriously but always with a smile. Over the time that we worked together we both exchanged family stories and events. Even though I did not know John on a personal level I know that he was passionate for the love of his family. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. Sincerely.
