John and I were best friends. We did a lot of things together especially basketball. I miss my friend and love him very much. He was a great guy. He called me his COuRT buddy. Combo of my name and basketball court because we played so many games together.

I enjoyed many years of some very competitive basketball and tennis with John and loved seeing him bike around the city. Smart, kind, and funny is how I would describe him. I am very sorry for your loss and pray for the family. I will miss my friend!
