Although we all knew that the end was approaching and was inevitable, I am devastated by John’s passing. He was one of the most talented people I ever encountered in politics; one of the most committed and loyal; and definitely the most unusual.

His ability to work under pressure, to remain unflappable when most people would have been severely flapping, was what made him such a great person to be around.
