Carolyn, I am so very sad to hear of John’s passing. When he hired me at Southeast Bank , I was a young wife, mother and new college graduate. Over 42 years in the banking industry if anyone ask who was my most influential mentor I would say….John Ronchetti! A great friend and leader. You and John were a great positive influence for both Dave and I. I will always remember his booming voice….anytime I have been at the Chart House….I listened for it! Praying that God wraps his arms around you and your family and gives you comfort.
