"Engineers lead the way" was our favorite saying and it's true!

What a wonderful ,kind and funny guy. This man did not have a mean bone in his body. I am saddened that I only found out recently that Johnny had passed away. I was his big brother at SLU Theta Xi Fraternity. There is now one more angel to look after someone. condolences to his family. May you rest in peace, brother

Sugh a sweet, kind person. Have many good memories of him. Prayers flying to his family. Was Theta Xi Little Sistee at SLU with him.

Right in the middle, you said 'I love you.' This is the legacy you leave. Though your success in the military is honorable, it is your success as a human being that I will remember. It was in your DNA to encourage others. In the midst of your own challenges, I felt it would all be alright and I...
