Gene Ponniah wrote a sympathy message

“John was a man of few words, with a wealth of knowledge on varied topics especially lending (banking). Back in 1994 to 1997 I came to know John at "ORSC" when he was a credit designer and had a few chats and nods as we passed each other.....I will cherish those pleasant memories. My deepest sympathies to his bereaving family. May his soul rest in peace.”
