I am so sorry to hear of the passing of John. My father, Sam Selke, worked with John and was a friend for many many years. I believe my Dad was best man at John's wedding. While I don't know John personally, I felt compelled to share my sympathy on behalf of my deceased father who always said that John was "a fine man!"
