I met John at the Bell System Training Center in Lisle when both of us worked for different bell systems, he for Illinois Bell and I for Southwestern Bell out of Oklahoma in 1979. We kept in contact throughout the years and in 1978 we each left the Operating companies and transferred to AT&T. We even worked on a couple of large projects together briefly. John was a great project architect and a wonderful friend. I´m so sad to just learn of his passing.

I worked with John at Classic Residence by Hyatt. He was a kind and caring gentleman, a great architect and colleague. I was so sorry to see this when I was searching for the obituary for a friend´s father of the same name. Prayers for John´s family. May John Rest In Peace.

I worked with John on the Deerfield Residences. John will be remembered as a most kind hearted and generous soul giving compliments and support for others.
John´s humor made me look forward to each conversation, his spirit will live on. Thanks John.

I was always amazed at John's smile. In fact I do not remember ever seeing him without one. He was a very positive person and a very good runner.

John was a really good man. My favorite memory of John was watching him pull his Ice skates out for his daily winter jaunt to Millennium Park. I was always in awe that he found time to get out there. We did not cross paths for long in the office, but he was always kind and a real gentleman.
