Thanks for sharing your stories. Seeing you at lunch several times / week was a real highlight when I moved to Arizona. I wish we got to spend more time together. Like Peggy said, I don't think you knew how much you were admired - by family or friends.

I'm so glad I got out to see you last year despite the snow storm. Your advice and thoughtfulness will never be forgotten. I don't think you ever knew how much you were admired. Thanks for being a great brother. Love Peggy

Went to Fairleigh Dickinson together. I'll always remember our days of watching "Batman" before launching into our study sessions. Had a wonderful dinner in Phoenix 5 years ago with John and other classmates. John picked up the tab - I owe him.
