Today, through Miguel, I learned of John’s passing.  It was a long time ago that I knew him.  He was a good friend, just as you said with your beautiful words.  Please keep his memory as a blessing.  
With respect, 
Marci. 

Absolutely in shock to learn of John's passing.  John hired me and was my manager for several years at Veeco.  I loved working with him and we quickly became good friends.  I was just thinking that we were overdue for a get together when I saw this.  Sending blessings to Megan and Pam.  Know that I feel honored to have called him a friend.  I will deeply miss him.

I was one of the lucky people who got to know John as a friend.  He was funny and had a quick wit, but the thing I appreciated most about John was his kindness to me.  He was happy to help when I broke something or needed something.  I also appreciated his intelligence.  He was always willing to explain his inventions to me in a way I could understand.   He was one of the smartest people I ever met.  I am really going to miss him.  Rest easy, friend.  

I grew up with the Dimond’s as Jim and I were childhood friends. Their home was my second home for quite some time. 37 Hampton will always be a fun memory of mine, and John was always a big part of that. I remember him, even when I was a little kid being so nice and so kind. That was a rare thing for the “older”brother to be nice to the younger brother and his friends. But John was just that. We played some fun games in their basement and around their house and in their backyard. And John even was responsible for trying to teach me to waterski up at Torch Lake when I was invited to stay for a few weeks the summer before starting seventh grade. Unfortunately I failed miserably. But John didn’t make me feel bad at all. He just said “good try” and helped me back into the boat and said “we’ll try it again later.”  He was a great guy. Just a great guy.
