I worked with John for many years in the excise tax group in New Haven. He was great to work with and just a super nice guy. We shared many good times on business trips and worked together on many audits. He was a pleasure to be around, and never had a bad word to say about anyone. I am very saddenede to hear of his passing which is way too soon.
