Many instances come to mind when in the middle of a busy workday, he would pause to ensure I had the understanding necessary to complete a task well; and if I didn't, he would give as much time as necessary to get me up to speed. He was also encouraging, frequently challenging me to embrace opportunities for professional growth, always having an eye towards my personal development. Beyond this active training, John's example of professionalism and hard work taught me very much. From the attention he would give to clients to the loyalty he showed to his colleagues to his unfailing ability to keep a good sense of humor, I learned so much just from working around him. Working with John was a great blessing, and I'm very grateful to him.", "I had the pleasure of reporting to John for over a year.
