Saddened to hear of the passing of JC. It was always a great day at work when I saw I was rostered on with him. He was a true gentleman with a calm caring nature and a willingness to help anyone. I’m sad I can’t be there in person today but my heart goes out to John’s family and friends. Rest in Peace JC. Thanks for the memories.
