So sorry to read of John's passing. I have many fond memories of golf with John at Brooklawn and Yale. He loved that strange putter of his and he broke my heart with it a few times. Even more than his golf I appreciated his professionalism and expertise as a radiologist whom I could always depend on. RIP JC.
