saysJohn , always a true gentleman. He will be missed by all of us in the real estate business. He brought a world of experience to the business and was always ready to share it. He should have been a diplomat because of his calm demeanor and his soft voice. I never heard him raise his voice to anyone. He didn't need to because he spoke with kindness and authority.
