To John's Family, I'm so sorry for John's Passing, If a person knew nothing else about him but the way he regarded his family (especially his grandchildren) it would be enough to show the strong and noble character he was to you. You would know he was fierce, loyal, fair and loving. He did not give his loyalty freely but if he decided that you had earned his trust he had your back thru thick and thin. We worked together at the Temecula Plant, he was The Director of the Operations portion and I worked in the Engineering portion in Lithography. He would demand of me challenging things to support our Manufacturing line. I would explain the issues and costs and usually the top two pathways to achieve it to him and he would say "I don't know how you do it, but I know you get it done we need the layers for our peoples KPI's!" referring to the performance bonuses for the operations people. His concern for the people that reported to him was genuine and fierce. He called me out to help in the Austin Facility just prior to his retirement. we talked about his retirement a little, he was so looking forward to it, I am sure he enjoyed every second he had.

Best wishes to His Family, my heart felt condolences as well.

Suman and I had an opportunity to work with John for 5yrs, he had very high respect for us and our entire team. John and I talked about many great things outside work … he admired the fruits from our backyard, especially the Lemons and he happened to plant one in his backyard … he was a man of his words and made my work so, so, simple and enjoyable  … I could have worked many many more years under his guidance and support. 

Our deepest condolences and prayers to Strys families.
