Please accept my condolences concerning the loss of John. It saddened me to hear of John's passing. As one of his teachers, I remember John and remember his up-beat personality. I also remember he never had a negative thing to say about anyone, he could always find the good in someone or a situation. His untimely loss will leave a gigantic void.
