Fair Winds and Following Seas, John

Gone,but never forgotten....

Alas, I lost track of John during COVID. He saved my professional life in mid-80s by getting me on at St Marys. I knew him to be someone ever and always interested in everyone and everything. He and Greg are surely two of the best men I've ever known. There's an unfillable space in the universe with the loss of John. May he know the peace he does so deserve.

Sending comfort to Kathleen. John was a good friend of my father's (Jim Hills) for over forty years. My father chooses his friends carefully and John was always at the top of the list.

I worked with John in the education department at Lansing. I was saddened to hear of his passing. Please accept my condolences to his children and family.
