I'm sorry to hear of John's passing. While I haven't seen him in many years, if I'd known sooner I would have attended his service.
Many years ago I was appointed chairman of the Duxbury Finance Committee. Town government was pretty new to me and early on, when I struggled to grasp the meaning of municipal terms and numbers, several people were extremely helpful. But, none more so than John, a real an old pro. He'd been involved for many years and was fluent with the budget and all its corresponding issues.
We had a very successful town meeting that year - but it was a struggle. I've never forgotten the time John spent with me and his kindnesses as he somewhat took me under his wing and helped show me the ropes. He was a good man and I still think of him from time to time. - Bill Floyd
