John & Kathy, Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss. I am so glad that John and I kinda re-connected on somewhat of a regular basis over these last few years. I enjoyed our conversation, mostly about sports, but also our conversation about spiritual things. We both enjoyed discussing the messages of a spiritual TV program that both of us watched most days. I am so glad to know that John was ready for this event in his life. I want to thank both of you for your loving care of him over these years in his life.

I worked with John a lot of years. His love of the Browns and Indians was amazing. He liked to keep records and scored the Indians games. But his garden was most liked. Sorry to hear about his passing.

Dear Ream family, We are so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. John was a wonderful, funny guy, and I'm thinking some of the old RRD accounting team may be sharing some fun and laughter once again, including Bob Allen. Bob and John were great friends! Thinking of all of you at this time. RIIP John!
