“John was the smartest man I knew and one of the kindest. He excelled in his career and his family life. He taught us to be curious, a trait that has served us well. He enjoyed fishing, especially fly fishing, reading history, and listening to classical music. A good glass of wine, single malt or Irish whiskey, or a dry martini with a lemon twist was always welcome.”—Dori, John, Karla, and Kathy, children
