We were all so shocked to hear about John's death. As his boss during the development of a large software project during the 80/90s I was always stunned by his amazing capabilities. He was a man with a brilliant mind, someone who the rest of the software development team treated as the ultimate authority. He could be called upon at any time to render assistance, always being sure that the person asking knew what they were doing. A 'backbone' person, one who you relied upon to be available when things got really tough. He was good enough for the mainframe system support personnel from Unisys to respect his views and respond to his requests for modifications to the system software. A really outstanding man who I was so grateful to have in my team.
