Dear Pam, I was sorry to hear about John. There are no words to express our sympathies. Joe will soon be joining John up in heaven and what a time God will have with those two!! Ironic as it may seem, two men that came on the job together and became good friends would end up leaving this earth a few days apart.

John was a good guy and a good

friend. I'm sure going to miss him. I think back to all the good

(and bad) times John and I had at work and outside of work. I'm so very sorry for your loss

John and I were partners for several years in the old Area 4 Robbery unit. He was a good partner and a good friend. I am sorry that I lost touch with him over the years. He will be missed. My condolences.

I came on the Department with John on January 2, 1961, and worked with him at Area #4 Robbery. He was a good friend, and a good cop. May he rest in peace.
