Dear Barb Laura Ian Glen and families
We were very sad to read of Johns death in the Observer this morning.We send our sincere sympathy to all of you.
John was a man one had to admire.Along with his academic and professional accomplishments he was a friendly and honourable man and a family man. What more could be added to the definition of a successful man?
May you be comforted by your wonderful memories.We will be thinking of you in the days ahead as you mourn his passing.
Hi Laura, My sincere condolences to you and your family! You are in my thoughts xo.
We are saddened to hear about John’s passing. Our condolences to Barbara and the family. I was very fortunate when I joined Dow and was able to work with Steve Kuhn and John back in 1977. I asked John a lot of questions and he was very helpful. He was one of the most pleasant co-workers. Karen and I were talking about John a few weeks ago. I’m golfing with Hunter, Gilroy and Cosman next week. We’ll have a toast to John at the 19th hole.
