I am a better man for having John in my life going all the way back to elementary school. I believe the 6 years at GHS were some of the best years of my life and the friends I made and have to this day.

Always enjoyed his gym class. A real straight up guy and a wonderful teacher. Since I was transferred to GHS in 11th grade, I only had two years to enjoy this fine teacher.

He was my gym teacher in 1959-60. Always liked his method of teaching and his fairness. I really liked him a lot. When I joined the Navy Seals/UDT-a lot of his character rubbed off on me and helped me when the going got tough. And believe me Seal training got tough.

Betty, Molly and Carol, words could never express the feeling we have for this family, we knew him as a teacher,a coach and a dear friend. I was on the committee that worked to get the field named after him, which was long over due and come to think of it I feed him many of meals also..He produced a great Quarter back....He will be missed deeply, I can't imagine what he and Mr.
Morris are talking about...Love to you all,
Faye,Leroy,Eric,Shelly and John Boy.
