Noreen SheenI was so sad to see this. My husband Ron and I worked with John for many years at ITO. Ron had seen him recently at jury duty and was happy to reconnect with him. John was so fun and wonderful to work with. Our condolences to all of his family.

MassimoCuginoGiovanni, le parole non possono descrivere il dolore che provo oggi. Sei sempre stato buono con me cugino, e come tuo primo e unico dipendente SES ho apprezzato molto l'opportunità. Mi sono anche piaciute molto le nostre conversazioni, le risate e il dominio del mondo del powerlifting insieme. La nostra famiglia e il mondo hanno perso un brav'uomo troppo presto. Ricorderò sempre, SES 4ever!!! Sempre RIP
