John was my big brother and was a very kind and thoughtful, a Teddy Bear of a person. He was never spiteful, was quick to forgive, and cared more about others than himself. He taught us alot growing up, to be competitive in all aspects of life (he was masterful in school and at Scrabble, chess, Monopoly, tennis, etc). He even used to quiz us with encycolpedias. Our middle brother is a chemist, I am an attorney, and our sister a university professor, so his tutelage yielded great results. We will all miss him terribly, and I very much regret that my two children will no longer have the benefit of Uncle Johnny. He also had an eccentric and frequent sense of humor, he drew his own cartoons when we were little and kept us in stiches. Gone, but never to be forgotten. Love, JC
