Dave Watts wrote a sympathy message

“I met John in 1973 when he worked for Hank Arrington then for Doug Sands. I had been with MDOT for about a year at that time. We worked together on minority business matters when there was a movement to involve the minority business community in State contract procurement matters. So we go back over 50 years. I am deeply sorry to learn of his passing. Dave Watts”
