I
had the pleasure of working with John at Ziegler's Moving & Storage. He was a man of few words but when he spoke it
was important. John would drive us to a job site and take a quick tour of the house. We would start taking items to the truck
for loading. He would start loading and take a look at an open spot in the truck's load and tell one of us to get a certain
item from the house. He had a knack of remembering every piece of furniture from that one quick walk-through.
