John was my boss when I graduated from Red River and 78 and went to work for MTS. He was a fair man, a good man and I enjoyed working with him. I remember him coming back from Saudi Arabia and I was working the evening shift and he phoned me up and praised me telling me what he thought about me as a worker. It meant a lot to a young guy. Thanks John - Posted by: Hans Winkler (worked with) on: Apr 15, 2015
