Sad to see you leave us, loved hanging out at the pool at your house in the summer and you tell me “Frankie go grab a beer from the fridge, how’s your father”.
Lots of fond memories of you, we will surely miss you, Johnny!
God bless you John and Ursula, I worked with John for several years at Ciba Geigy as we were both assigned to the treatment plant across the street from the main plant. he was so smart and always the kindest man i have ever met. I remember the day the Co2 tank sprung a leak and tried to suffocate us, i was runnig away and John stopped to pick me up in the company car to get to safety. I use to visit them when i came home from Florida on vacation.
Ursula you are in my thoughts and prayers
