I Just Heard Today That John Passed Away. It’S April 3Rd, 9:29 P.M. He Was Part Of The Building Maintenance Team At Remington When I Worked There. I Was Just Thinking About Him The Other Day And Wondering How He Was Doing. He Was Always Kind And I Appreciated Him So Much. My Heart Is Just Broken. He Was Part Of Our Remington Family. May God Comfort His Family.
