So sorry to hear of John’s passing
I had the pleasure of working with John at Quebecor for several years. He was always a gentleman and a resource for all the younger guys. He was easy to work with and never caused any concerns for those he worked for. Again, my condolences to his family and friends i’m sure he’ll be missed by all.
