I received a letter from John's wife, Rochelle, with the news that John had passed away in late July. Many of us who knew and worked with John referred to him fondly as the "Colonel." John retired from the Army, worked as State Farm staff and then for many years for Crawford & Company. John was a great friend and mentor to many of us.

It was his wish to be cremated and interred in Arlington National Cemetery. Those arrangements are being made.

For any who wish to make a donation in his memory, the private non-profit where John adopted his "Stella" whom he adored and was devoted to him is savinggracenc.org.

For those who wish to share a memory with Rochelle, she can be contacted at rogib@att.net.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rochelle.
