I am so sad to hear of Siri’s passing. I had hoped to get to Warren before this happened. We worked together at Blair for many years, and he truly was a mentor to me. We worked hard, but we also enjoyed so many great times. Everyday John and I would take a mid-morning break together and just discuss our lives. Such a kind man who loved his family, they were everything to him. My sympathies to his family. Charlene, I know you know, you were the love of his life, and John, Kellie, Beth, Marc, and Eric, a prouder father there never was. God speed Siri!!!
Char and entire family,
I am so sorry to hear about John, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Working for John was truly a blessing in my life, he taught me the printing world but most of all he showed me the importance of family.
John always had a smile and was a joy to be around, such a kind person.
It has been far too many years since I have had the pleasure of being in this man’s presence but it feels like yesterday. His wonderful smile and calming demeanor were there to greet you whenever you arrived at his house.
John’s life has impacted so many, including those who had the pleasure of knowing him, as well as those who have been touched by the lives of his wife and children. They are a living testament to John’s love, kindness, and discipline.Oh how proud he must have been with you all.
My sincerest condolences to all of you. His death is a great loss to all, but what a celebration there must be in heaven.
Gos Bless you all.
I was deeply saddened to hear of John passing. He was a longtime friend of my father, and I had the pleasure of speaking with him and visiting his home on several occasions. He was always so kind and encouraging to me as a young person just starting out. My heartfelt condolences to his family—his warmth and generosity will always be remembered.
Sincere sympathy to the entire family. Earth’s loss: Heaven’s gain.
