Not sure what to say?

John was the finest of men and the best friend a non-profit leader could ever have. I will miss his tough questions, unwavering faith in his fellow man and his sweet smile. He helped everyone around him be their very best selves.

So very sad to hear this news of sweet John and his passing. Much love and prayers for Midge and his family.

I had the pleasure of meeting John in the mid-1970s at the beginning of my career, and visiting with him extensively at the end of my career while writing a history of state higher education executives. He was an important and influential leader in higher education. I am grateful for his contributions.
