I just found out about the passing of John. I’m deeply sorry and send my condolences to all of his family.  I’ve worked with John for many years with Sealtest Dairy and then again at Nestle Ice Cream. John was the best manager I had the privilege to work for. I learned so many sale  skills you can’t find in a book. He  had charisma, charm and the gift of selling anything. I also loved his sense of humour. He was a good friend. He always talked about his kids and how much he loved them. John was way too young and will be missed by many people. 
 

Dear Sandra and Santos Family, 
I just heard about John's passing . I'm sorry to hear this .  I spent a couple of years with John at Hollandia Bakeries and the Good Food Company as we launched our new Savoia Brand of cookies into the Canadian Market. He had a special passion for his trade and he new how to draw people together.  I  have adopted some of his mannerisms.   No Really?    ha ha.. anyways I will always remember him to be a Happy person who brought a smile to my life.

Dear Santos Family,

I wish to give my sincerest condolences on the passing of John. I met John in July of 2015, he cold called me when I was considering a change in contractor at a property I was managing in Hamilton . His timing was impeccable, when I met him in person a few days later his charisma was multiplied, his ability to "shoot the breeze" was a true gift and I was sold that day however I couldn't sign it all away that second. I left the proverbial door open and John did not hesitate to stick his foot in it and not let go until he had a signed contract. His charisma and perseverance was an indispensable asset to his profession.   John and I had several lunches and meetings before and after he signed our portfolio and those were times I had always looked forward to, to be in his company meant you were his focus and that means a lot in business and surely at home. The laughs and the conversations will be greatly missed and will be cherished and recalled often.

Sincerely,
Ryan Gibson
