    Marty and Joe, I’m so sorry to read of John’s passing. John and I worked, played and had (a few) beers together over the past 54 years, and possibly argued a time or two. John was a brilliant programmer and writer, and was a man of iron integrity.

    Joe, I still remember our visit to your apartment in Syracuse, where you cooked us dinner and went with us to the Chiefs game at MacArthur Stadium. I also recall that we bowled together in the NYS Employees league. I don’t remember much about the bowling, but I do remember that you were the guy who started his countdown to retirement when he was 39! I know how much John loved you.
