Cange family: I’m so very sorry for your loss. My heart aches for you all. John was a great family man and was always warm and welcoming during my CMSU days with Lorri, making me feel like part of the family. Please know your family is in my thoughts.
John and I would always talk at work about his airplane and Oshkosh. I always liked working with John and this is a truly a sad day. My condolences to his family.

Lizzy, My heart goes out to you and your family. I am shocked and so sorry you lost John Boy. I know he meant the world to all of you. He was such a good man!
He often shared pictures of your grandchildren with me. When he retired in March of 2015 he told me to look on FACEBOOK for pictures of the kids. He was so proud of his family and made it obvious how much he loved all of you. My heart hurts for you.
May God carry you through this horrific loss. God Bless you!
Liz,
I am very sorry to hear that John has passed away. I appreciated his wry sense of humor. My condolences to you and your family.
