There are not many like John that will ever be made, those who were lucky enough to come in contact with him even just in a small way were really lucky. He will be missed.

It must have been very hard to say goodbye to John today. To Johns family and the ECS crew I just want to tell you all, you were in my thoughts and prayers all day. I stopped to pay my respects early yesterday evening and met some of Johns family and wifeI will miss John

Chris, Doug and the guys at ECS, I just heard about this when I went on your website to look up a number. I am so sorry for you guys, John was such a nice guy, and obviously very dedicated to his job and ECS. Prayers to his family, and again my condolences. John was a great guy and I will miss talking with him about Howard Stern etc when I come down to the shop, he had a great sense of humor and will be missed.
