I played baseball and basketball with John aka Jack Schwamberger. I didn't know he had passed away until recently. Jack was a great athlete and smart student. He was a very positive person a great team player. His father always attended the games and was a super nice man. Should heaven need a great first baseman they have one of the best. Regards from Rodger Fausey aka Rod Douglas, former radio personality in Toledo and Las Vegas.
