Ron Lucas wrote a sympathy message

“I worked for John on and off over the years, but I didn’t get to know him personally until we shared a desk as retired history volunteers at the Center for Cryptologic History. He was a good story teller and a great American. I enjoyed his company and will miss him. Please accept my deepest sympathies for his family and friends..”

Mark Nixon wrote a sympathy message

“We are both very sorry to hear of John's passing last week. He and I met at work about 5 years ago and instantly hit it off over our shared memories (I was a dependent at the time) of East Africa. He was a good man and always willing to offer helpful advice whenever it was needed. He will certainly be missed by all, not the least of whom are those who are now blessed to work in smoke-free environments as a result of his championing the cause. Rest in peace my friend. Mark and Heather Nixon”
