Carlotta,

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that the peace and comfort of Jesus will be in your and your familes' hearts during this sad time.

I was so saddened to hear about your loss. I met John after he started working with WABTEC about 7 or 8 years ago. We had a great working relationship. We worked together on several projects that SMCI was doing for WABTEC.  I was always impressed with his outgoing nature, his broad smile and hearty laugh. A very solid young man with a great work ethic and likable personality, whom I will miss greatly. RIP younger brother! You will be remembered with very fond memories.

You have my Deepest Sympathy and prayers. May God comfort you all at this time.

I am extremely sorry for your loss. While I didn't have the opportunity to keep up with John, I know that his smile could light up a room years ago. I am grateful for the opportunity to have known John and he will always be remembered.

I regret not being able to make it to services. James and family, from the bottom of my heart, my sincere condolences.

My prayers go out to all of the family members , I have worked with John for 10 yrs and have watched him move up within the company, He will be sorely missed by all.

My prayers go out to all the family members, I have worked with John for 10 yrs , he was well liked, and will be sorely missed.

I had the privilege of working with John for a few years. He was so full of life-always laughing, hard working and energetic. John was one of the most ambitious young men I have ever know. His laughter was infectious. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

I worked with John for the last 8 years or so on various rail projects.  He was a great person and was a really smart and energetic young man.  I enjoyed working with him very much and he will be truly missed.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of his family, friends and co-workers during this time.  God Bless all of you

Diane and our nieces and nephew,
     We are with you in thought in these difficult days. You will all remain in our thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.
John & Mary Kulhanek

To Amelia and family, you have my deepest sympathy.
