John was one of the most intelligent, talented and loyal close friends I have had in my lifetime. He was industrious,thought outside the box and was always looking for a new challenge and high adventure. He was completely fearless. He had a marvelous sense of humor and turned many disasters into victories. Rest in peace, John. Dennis.

Relationship summary:  fellow UAF engineering graduate, RCA Alascom engineering colleague, project client, part time employee, beneficiary of John's always loyal friendship.  Repeating what I have repeatedly had occasion to say in the past:  "thank you, John".
