Worked with John over 40 years never did he complain, did what had to be done and always willing to go the extra yard to make it over the top! Always enjoy John's bowling stories. He will always be part of my friends at Williams.John, please say hi to all the past Williams staff members that have left us to be with our maker.

Our condolences to the family. We give thanks for John's friendship throughout our high school years and for his service to his country. Though after graduating from high school we have lost touch we are happy to learn his talents were well received by so many other students, faculty and friends of Williams College. Most Sincerely,
