Dear Mina and Family,
I am saddened to learn of John's passing. I offer my sincerest condolences to his family and friends. I worked for John in Bioengineering at the University of Iowa. He was a mentor, a financial advisor, a confidant, and most of all a friend of the best kind. I remember fondly our fishing days when we would go Kent Park together. We seldom caught anything, but that was not why we went.
He was the finest engineer I have known,
Rick Borchard, previous Director of Bioengineering (retired)
