Our condolences to you, Donna, and the family. John was always ready to help wherever needed. My special memory of John was the years we were the readers for the Saturday night Easter Vigil.
God’s grace and peace…

John was a wonderful co-worker at Rexroth. Competent, hard-working, even-tempered, a pleasure to work with. He will be missed by all of his colleagues.
A good man. A gentleman.
