Our hearts are broken for Diana and the entire Spaulding family...We were neighbors for over 40 years. Raised our families side-by-side. We celebrate births, graduations, weddings, retirement, grandchildren and all of the events of being friends. The Spaulding's are not JUST our friends, they are our family! John was one-of-a-kind. He will always be part of our lives because we will always have the memories...

Condolences from John´s friends at ETR. His legacy of service will live on through the opportunities he helped create for so many pre-apprenticeships in the trades. John, you´ll be missed.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. I have worked with John for many years thru the Workforce Development Board at ETR. He has always been a supportive board member and has helped ETR with many pre-apprenticeship programs with all of the trades. We will miss him very much.
