John Rauma

"For the past 15 years, John was an integral part of the World Wide Technology family, and a respected cyber security expert. John led a blessed life and had a storied career as an engineer and consultant, as an entrepreneur and a published author of numerous whitepapers and reference manuals. His presence brought joy, humility, and a spirit of camaraderie to our workplace. He believed in our company core values as a means to bring out the best in people, and he strove to make WWT a great place to work for all. In his final weeks he never missed an opportunity to express his devotion to, and gratitude for, his teammates. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and working with him."

"John and I began our lifetime experiences as two 13 year olds in puppy love. I moved away but he never failed to contact me on my birthday as the years went by. I recently shared many of our experiences together in my published book entitled “I’m Still Breathing” authored by myself, Leslie Revere. John read my book and was so pleased that I described our many escapades. He is my forever friend and I look forward to seeing him again on the other side."

"John and I worked together at WWT and I will always cherish the conversations, knowledge, and mentorship he provided. He spoke very highly of his family and was indeed a very proud Grandpa. John will be greatly missed by his WWT family. My condolences to the family."

"I worked with John at WWT. More than a co-worker, he was a friend. He participated in our prayer calls and could always be counted on for caring support when anyone needed anything. He will be missed. Prayers for all the family at this difficult time."
