Memories & Condolences

Mary and I were saddened by the news of John's passing. I worked with John for many years at both BFG Chemical Headquarters in downtown Cleveland and then on Oak Tree Blvd. in Independence - before his move to Corporate Headquarters in Akron. Back in those days we were known simply as the Computer Department. John was a fine gentleman. I always thought highly of him. Because our families lived many miles apart, we didn't have a lot of get-togethers with his family, but we always had fun times with John and Terry at company parties and outings. Mary and I give our love to Terry and the Extended Menyes Family.

John and I were next door neighbors in a condominium across from the famous Siesta Key beach in Sarasota, Florida. We were close in age and had much in common. On occasion, with our wives, we played bridge, ate out and just enjoyed the winter months under the sunny skies of Florida. We were, also, on the
condominium board together. Among other responsibilities, we shared chairing the landscaping committee. As an example, we planted trees, reworked and designed the front entrance garden. But the one thing that John insisted upon was that the mulch must have some red coloring. I really didn't have to ask him why because I knew it reminded him of his beloved Ohio State University. Since I was from Michigan, it was difficult to look out my window in the morning to see red mulch and know the real meaning behind the coloration. John, of course, was not my rival. Quite the contrary, he was my buddy and I will miss him.
