"I worked for many years with John at NHD. He was a great co-worker. A very kind person who would take the time to help anybody in need. One day, when I was younger, I hit my father's car against a guardrail and needed to cover it with paint to make it look like I didn't since my father would have been very mad. I went to NHD and John happened to be in there not working, just stopped by and he helped me find the color I needed to fix it. We had many laughs about that over the years. It's been along time since I saw John - my best to his family and sympathy at this time. Dan"
