I remember John from my early years at RCA, with respect, fondness and much gratitude. I shared a cubicle with him for two years (1983-84) and had a delightful time working for him, and with him. Besides being one of the truly innovative design engineers on staff at the time, John was as smart as a whip, mischievous, funny, and always pleasure to work with. I recall him sharing with me his circuit design techniques and at one point coaching me on the finer points of negotiation as I prepared to purchase my first new auto vehicle. John was a friend, a mentor and significant role model in the formative stage of my career. He was a kind and humble man, a giver in in life and a true gentleman in every sense of the word.John, may you rest in Peace.
