John and I worked together at L3 for only a short period of time, and still, his legacy made an incredible impact on my life. Before leaving to work for the next employer in his journey, he left a stack of printed cards in my cubicle that read as below:
'I am sorry
Please forgive me
Thank you
I love you
Say these 4 phrases mentally all day, every day.'
On the back of the card it reads, 'Share with everyone you meet'.
When John married Katherine, I liked him right away. Didn't get to see him much lately. I do know that he was a very thoughtful man. He loved his wife and family. He is a nephew to us by marriage.
May God bless his family with peace and comfort.
Love from Uncle Kenny and Aunt Judy
I had the privilege of meeting John while working for L3 in Korea. His visits were always a highlight; we’d spend hours talking on the ops floor or sharing coffee and meals offsite. After I left Korea, we stayed in touch, and I followed his health challenges with concern. Later, I was thrilled to bring him into Altamira, where we worked together again. When John moved to Virginia, having him nearby was a gift. I hosted him for dinner several times, most recently to watch the Bills playoff game. Our Friday IHOP meetups before work were filled with great conversations.
John was truly one-of-a-kind—his kindness, sincerity, and humor set him apart. He was deeply proud of his children and grandchildren, working tirelessly to support them, always putting their needs above his own, even when urged to take time for himself. I’m heartbroken that his life ended far too soon, leaving his family without the time they deserved with him. John’s absence leaves a profound void, and he will be deeply missed.
