Only knew John for a little over a year. I worked down the hall at Gulfstream in the Mechanical Systems group. John was always the most caring and supportive manager I experienced in the Company. He was also a compelling person with his clear kindness, ethics, and gregarious nature. The person everybody refers to as ‘a good guy.’ He also loved shooting sports and would come along with the engineers on the floor to do that. I got to know him in that way and considered him a friend. I grieve with his passing, consoled by knowing he is in a better place.

- Mark Cauble, Lynnwood, WA
