Reita, I am so sorry to hear about John's death. I would have been at the funeral had I known about it. I just learned about it tonight. John was super good guy. I remember all the fun we had golfing and the times he kept me under control at work. If there is anything I can do, please feel free to ask! Again, I am so sorry I wasn't there. Sincerely, David L. Warner, Amble

John was a great guy. I enjoyed working with him for 6 years in Greenville. He taught me a lot about the plastics department and he always did it with a lot of fun. Such a great guy who will be greatly missed by many.
