RIP buddy.....man I miss you already.
We have so many great times together over the years!! We had an occasional chat online, and seemed to pickup right where we left off. Last year? when John and Paul rode north, we had dinner and a few beers, just like old times. Over the years we never lost the bond we have. Hopefully the roads up there are smooth, clear and twisty.
I'll see you when I get there buddy, and we can ride together again.##imported-begin##Keith Black##imported-end##
I went to High School with John and later we both went to Salem State together. Every once in awhile he would give me a ride home from school when I didn't have one. He was always upbeat and positive. Recently we were friends on facebook.Sorry to hear of his passing. RIP John. Until we meet on the otherside.##imported-begin##Richard Santilli##imported-end##

John work with COshocton Hospital - in Ohio. That is how I met John. John was not just a cliennt manager but became a friend over the years.
I am sorry for your loss - he will be missed!##imported-begin##Lori R Hahn##imported-end##
I have known John for close to 20 years. Initially we were programmers, then he became my manager, and finally as friends. I have always enjoyed the conversations we have had, from the eclectic during 3am conversions to the political debates over beer. You knew that the chats would be at a minimum engaging when he would start with ‘I submit that’…. John also loved his pool. It was funny how he seemed to win by just one ball.
John was always fair and helpful to those around him and he enjoyed mentoring, professionally as well as personally. He got a great kick out helping a person rise above what they that was a limitation.
John’s presence will be missed.
Eillana, let me know what I can do to assist.

I first met John in 1985 when we both worked at Vassar Brothers Hospital. We then went on to work together, on and off, for nearly 20 years. For all those who know John, you can imagine I’ve got a lot of Cas stories from that many years.
John was always finding the humor in things. John had a collapsed lung when we worked at Vassar. Even in his pain and discomfort he found the humor in the fact that when we called over to the ER they made us call 911 and have an ambulance come get him from the building we were in and take him literally 300 yards across the parking lot to the building the ER was in. We were all mad but John thought it was funny.
John knew things. For example, he somehow knew that the big block Chevy engine I had in my Camaro won’t turn 6,000 RPMs. Of course I was going to show him… So there we went, 120 MPH down the Dulles Toll road when BOOM!!! The bottom end of the engine blew out. Did I mention that John found the humor in things… Although it wasn’t funny when it started to rain and we were trying to find a way home.
John was clever. Although I wasn’t there, he enjoyed telling the story of working at a gas station back in MA. In was cold but the manager had placed a box over the thermostat so the employees couldn’t turn up the heat. The other kid working there was spending a lot of time trying to break into the box with no avail. John, simply picked up a plastic bag, filled it with snow and placed it on top of the box. The heat kicked on immediately…
John was generous. At a time when I had no place to live John let me move in with him. No rent, no time line. Just helping out a friend.
John touched the lives of many people in many ways.
John will be missed.

Eillana, I am so sorry to hear about John. I've know John since I started with Compucare 26 years ago. I met him the first week I started and he has been a great coileague and firend over those many years. He was always good for a burger and a beer when I was in Reston or he was in California. He will be greatly missed.##imported-begin##Mark McKinnon##imported-end##
I've been away from Quadramed for over 11 years, so I just learned today that John left us. Funny, but when you leave a company there are always a few people who continue to go through your mind. John was one of those people. And the memories always fond. He leaves a hole and the world is poorer for the loss.
My profound sympathies to his family.##imported-begin##Annie Bartlett##imported-end##
