So happy to have worked with John over they years. He was my one of my favorite journeymen to have worked with. Both knowledgeable and patent, with lots of great stories. He taught me lots about the trade, the union, and life. He will be missed.
My deepest sympathy to all of you. I worked with your father at Dresser Clark/Dresser Rand and have nothing but respect for him as a person and his work ethics. You are very lucky to have had such a fun but hardworking father, father-in-law, and grandfather in your life.
John was a very nice man had the pleasure of working with him over the years My condolences to his Family
