Diane,.

I just learned of John's recent death, after his long illness with Parkinson's Disease. I had the good fortune to chat with him several times when we were together on the McDaniel campus and I was always impressed with his quiet, gentle manner, his support of you and all you've done over these years, and his sharp intellect. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.
