Ron Carter

I was his best friend, but as we all knew John made everyone feel that same way. He was brilliant at managing relationships. Besides being smart, unforgettable, and caring, his ability to treat everyone fairly was one of his characteristics I admired the most. John was an energetic leader. As a high performer, his passion, stamina and motivation resonated with the individuals whom he interacted with. My hope is that the uncompleted work he left behind will be continued with respect, care, courage and the professionalism John would have exhibited.

I will miss my friend, John J. Kennedy. He and I both envisioned a future where individuals are treated fairly and with compassion. We also believed that family and true friendships are the hallmarks of living a meaningful life. I believe that John’s Christian faith and the undying love of God and his family, especially his sister Lena, have eternally encircled him and he is resting well.

John J. Kennedy, you were one of my “high-valued” friends. Rest In Peace.
