Rick Stowell wrote a sympathy message

“I worked for John during the Ice Storm and really enjoyed myself, he was a great Supervisor and knew his job! I then had the opportunity to work with him after I was promoted to Fleet Manager. I never had a problem with him as he had the interest of his employees, the taxpayers, and the entire State in mind while conducting his job! I enjoyed working with John and I'm sure he will be missed!”
