Not sure what to say?

John helped my students to understand the Constitution for several years.

Rest in peace my dear brother until we meet again , my love for you I will hold in my heart till then, your loving sister Marguerite. Thank you for being my brother

John was a great attorney-highly intelligent and analytical with ethical principles. He was also an outstanding NU law professor and Navy veteran. My deep condolences to his entire family, and especially his wife, Elizabeth, and his son, Willie, with whom I also had the honor of spending time with at football games. With a heavy heart.

John was a terrific person, a top-rate litigator and a caring and supportive law partner, with broad intellectual and cultural interests and a charming sense of humor. All of us who were privileged to know him will miss him.

John was a superb teacher, wonderfully clear and possessed of deep judgment. I saw him teach deftly at Northwestern Law in our Ethics program and in programs for practicing lawyers with the National Institute for Trial Advocacy. He also had a dry sense of humor that brought many smiles over the years.

John was a volunteer coach with the Maine South Constitution Team for many years. He really enjoyed helping young people learn about the Constitution and American history. He was also a dear friend.
