Gunner and I go way back.  (I am slightly older.)  We identified on the age level as being 2 of the older personnel at the time.  He was meticulous about everything and got used to my "it is not important reply" or something to that effect.  Sometimes it was the BS that I told him.  In spite of it all, we were good friends.  I am sorry that I did not make it out to take him to lunch.  We discussed it when I learned of his confinement.  My sympathy to the family!!

I remember when I first worked with Gunner. I was the only non tech person in the department and he was a bit gruff. I asked a friend who was obviously on good terms how I could get on better terms with this man.  Her answer, “chocolate”. I went by his office a few days later and tentatively interrupted him and said I understand we have a common love and handed him some Hershey kisses. He looked up with that twinkle in his eye he got when he was amused, gave me a big grin and said thanks. We were fast friends thereafter. Gunner was a great friend and so respected for his knowledge. The world is a little emptier with him gone. 

I worked for many years with John (known to all of us as Gunner, a nickname from his days in the service, when he was given the rank of Warrant Officer).  He was responsible for creating release tapes for the CyberLife system, a very complex job in itself, involving determining which components were subscribed to by which customers, then submitting jobs to create the tapes and finally coordinating with the Data Center to send the right tapes to the right customers.  He was a good friend and colleague, who was always willing to share his knowledge of the system, and he had a great sense of humor when things went awry.
