John was a friend at UVA and after graduation in D.C. who made all of us laugh with his incredible sense of humor. The world is missing a great person, friend, co-worker, father, husband, brother and son.

Jennifer - my wife and I both had the pleasure of working with John at Freddie Mac, and shared many good times with him on the softball field and the golf course. "Johnny A." was one of a kind - a truly honorable human being, whose lightning fast wit and incredible sense of humor could always make everyone smile. He will be deeply missed.
