      My thoughts and prayers go out to Katy and her family! I have known John for over 40 years. Had many things in common, being in distribution as he was. He was a person of short words . You always knew he would be direct and to the point. He will be missed. John when you arrive at the beyond, say hello to my Patti and bye her a Johnny Walker! Thanks! I’ll see you down the road. 🙏
