John was more than a close friend,he was family. His quick wit and great conversations will be missed. His personality will make it impossible to not regularily smile while remembering the great times we had together. Our family sends our deepest condolences to Kim, Janna and family. We will miss you John. - Posted by: Don & Lori Kamins (Friend and Co-worker) on: Jan 19, 2013

My condolences to Kim, Janna, Howie, and Family. I put on a tribute to John on here but I guess I did not do it right so I am trying again. I remember the first time I noticed John. He was coming into work one day and he had a funky perm (kinda like the actor Gordon Pinsent had in a movie once) and I remember wondering who was that guy with the weird perm. The perm did not last but we became great friends and our friendship did last. John was a blast to work with and to have as a friend. He always had a funny story to tell and having him around put a smile on your face. John was a straight shooter and told you what he thought. His honest attitude was second to none; I found it very refreshing and I appreciated it. John was someone who I could always rely on when I needed a friend and I will miss him. Rest in Peace John. - Posted by: Lesley Campbell (Friend) on: Jan 15, 2013

John was a colleague, a mentor and a friend. It's been a long time since we worked together, but I still think of him often and I think I always will. He just made life fun! My deepest sympathies to Kim and his entire family. - Posted by: Gary Perkins (Friend and co-worker) on: Jan 15, 2013
