    John was a very kind and gentle man with a generous spirit who will be missed. Scott, No words take grief away. This quote has helped me in the past. I hope it will be of some comfort for you and your family. ’¨’Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget ‘¨falls drop by drop upon the heart ‘¨until, in our own despair, against our will,’¨comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.’ Aeschylus (525 BC ‘ 456 BC) was a playwright of ancient Greece.

    As a OGP rep I had many opportunities to chat with John over the years. He was always gracious, charming and enlightening. I shall miss our talks.

    I worked with your dad at Kodak in the 70’s and 80’s and just last year we reconnected via email and we met for a wonderful lunch. He shared many a story of his grown up family and his pride in you. I am sorry for your loss.

    John and I met at Eastman Kodak when we both worked initially at Kodak Office Industrial Relations and later in the newly formed Field Industrial Relations. He was an intelligent and dedicated manager, a good friend and someone who possessed a great sense of humor. All who knew John will miss him.

    Scott, both John and Joyce were very special to me as an OGP rep. John always thought of us out on the West Coast and made it a point to touch bases with us to get a reading on what was going on. You were fortunate to have wonderful parents and the rest of us were fortunate to have them as friends.

    John was a dear friend. We grew up together and graduated in the class of 1948 from Panama Central School. I was saddened to read of his passing. Our church bought his childhood home in order to build our new church sanctuary. I have many fond memories of our childhood , elementary and high school days. My deep sympathy to you Scott and the family.
