SO SORRY TO HEAR OF JOHNS PASSING. I MET JOHN 43 YEARS AGO, WHEN HE WORKED FOR BALDWIN MFG. CO. HE CAME HERE TO WISE, VA. MANY TIMES AND NOT ONLY WAS HE A BUSINESS ASSOCIATE, BUT HE BECAME A GOOD FRIEND ALSO. HE GAVE ME A LOT OF GOOD ADVISE THAT HELPED ME THEN AND I STILL USE HIS KNOWLEDGE TODAY. HIS FRIENDS HERE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIM.
My deepest sympathies to Agnes and family. John was a great guy to work with here at Baldwin Filters and enjoyed talking to him during this time. He will be truly missed.
