The landscape industry lost one of its pioneering icons. Gachina Landscape Management lost a leader and an amazing human being. John truly enriched the lives of everyone and everything he touched. There are no words that can adequately express our sadness of John’s death or the gratitude for his friendship and the opportunity to work alongside of him. He leaves behind a strong company and organization of passionate employees that will hon- or his memory by dedicating themselves to continue the work and service he loved so much. He will be missed and remain in our hearts; never to be forgotten.
