We made it through the school year without you, but not a day went by that we didn't feel your absence. There were tears, growing pains, challenges, and moments when we wished we could pick up the phone and hear your voice one more time.
Your birthday just passed, and it reminded us how much we miss you—not only as our boss, but as a man who genuinely cared about the people around him. No one could have been a better man, father, mentor, or boss. The kindness, integrity, and dedication you showed every day left a lasting mark on all of us.
The road hasn't been easy, but your legacy continues to guide us. We have done our best to carry forward the values you built this company on, and we hope we've made you proud.
Today we celebrate your life, honor your memory, and thank you for everything you gave to your family, your employees, and this company.
Happy Heavenly Birthday, John. You are deeply missed and never forgotten. ❤️🚌💙
