I loved reading the message about John (and I assume Roger) running in the Gunnison Avenue gang. I had the pleasure of working with John from 1986 to 2003. John was an unassuming person with a keen intellect. John was a natural in mathematics who followed his father's occupation in law. John cherished the idea of clerking for a Supreme Court Justice. I remember John talking about one of his fellow law students - Laurence Tribe. John fancied the up and coming field of computer engineering. He was able to utilize his strong math foundation to work in the hardware and software fields for the majority of his career. He was a pleasure in the office, the jogging trails, and the tennis court. I miss the many conversations with John. I will remember John as living life on his terms whether at those mid 1960s political demonstrations in the Bay area, exercising on the running or skiing trails, sailing in the open ocean to Catalina, enjoying time with his kids and grandkids. RIP in John.

John,
I'm sorry to hear of your passing. We were Beta Chi's at Stanford, Class of '59. You were an unassumingly bright fellow from Grand junction, and I a rustic from Tucson. I liked you very much. We lost touch after college, but I see you did well and had a good life. I wish you peace.

Just saw the sad news about John. I remember him running and high jumping. He was jumping on day and walked under the bar and didn't have to duck. When he realized how high he had jumped he was psyched out. So sorry for your loss.

So sorry about John's passing. I know how hard it is to lose you're only sibling. John and my sister Diane went to high school together. An era is gone and our lives go on with only the wonderful memories we have. Blessings and my sympathy to you and your family.
