John Hey hired me in 1982 and I worked there until 2005. He left IKON in 2000 and was sorely missed. He was the best president, boss, manager that I ever had. The years of D.C.Hey and ALCO were the absolute best years of my working career. John knew that if you allow capitalism to work, the company will succeed. He was and is a very smart man. Thank you, John.

I worked as a professional nanny for John and Sandy in the early 90's and am forever grateful for the privilege of caring for their two wonderful (now grown) children. John and Sandy treated me like a family member and we had some great times together. Sandy's cooking was amazing and John was so gracious when I wrecked their new Landcruiser. They were wonderful employers and a very loving couple.
