I MET JOHN IN 1987 WHEN I WAS IN SUPSHIP AND WENT TO NORSHIPCO. HE WAS QA SUPERVISOR AND HE AND I KNOCKED HEADS EVERY DAY ABOUT SOMTHING. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES WE DISAGREED WE NEVER TOOK IT PERSONAL. AFTER HE RETIRED WE SAW EACH OTHER EVERY NOW AND THEN AND WE LAUGHED ABOUT KNOCKING HEADS. SORRY TO HEAR HE PASSED AWAY. ALWAYS ENJOYED TALKING TO HIM AND WE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT THE OLE NORSHIPCO DAYS.
