Working with John at CKY was wonderful. He was so professional yet so full of humour. We shared many moments of frustrations with the master control switcher and the betacart machines. Loved his sense of humour and the accent. My sympathies to the family. - Posted by: Dianne Garnett (Work Colleague) on: Oct 06, 2013
