It was my fortune to learn from and collaborate for nearly 14 years in the blasting profession with John,  who hired me in 1977.   As family and friends have attested, he was a truly kind-hearted man.   Foremost, I'll never forget the felicitous attention he gave my dear late handicapped sister Meg.  Still puts a smile on my face.

We were so saddened to hear of John’s passing just before Christmas, and are glad to know his passing was peaceful and in the presence of his beloved family.  Much love and peace to Diane and the kids and grandkids.
