I was so sorry to hear about John passing. I didn't hear about it until Saturday. Even though I had not seen him in a while I considered him an old friend. He will certainly be missed by many.

My sincere condolences for John's passing. He was always so friendly to most everyone... he was a part of our class of 1970 and he will never be forgotten. May those who survive him remember his positive traites, as we of the class of 1970 shall.
