Hey John, my memories as a pledge under you are solidly implanted in my mind. Were those memories positive, yes. Did I learn from you, yes! Your obituary told me much more about you though. The kindness came through and also you are much loved by your your Family. RIP my friend. As Sigma Chi says, "All honor to his name" very sincerely, Gary Bridge

Chris & Erin, my condolences on the passing of your Father. He was truly one of a kind. My love to you both.

I've often wondered what good ol' John was up to the last 20 or so years. What a joy it was to know and chat with him. The years I knew him was at the U Hospital from 1980 until he retired which covered many years. Barney Clark - that was a time in medical history and John shined as he shared updates with the world.

John, you were already missed at All Saints and now forever missed. We had some fun conversations and I always loved to hear you stories from your adventurous life! Thank you for being my church friend.

John, you were a great man and I cherish the time we shared at All Saints Episcopal Church.

I am sorry to read of Johns passing ,he was a kind and generous man,and a good friend he will be missed .

During my 18 years on faculty at the U Med School, John was the hospital spokesman, always accessible, always upbeat. Like him, I spent time in Bolivia as a young man, but a few years after his Peace Corps experience. We had more than a few conversations about those times and how they affected us. He was a great support for my work at the U, and I hope he knew how much I appreciated him. He was a good man, which I consider the highest possible compliment. Dennis Nielson, MD, PhD (retired)
