John was a loyal member of the Class of 1949 at Princeton, admired by all who knew him. My wife Jean (now deceased) and I had many happy times with John and Peggy at Reunions and on other occasions. John and I a shared a common love for continuing education -- John in law, I in medicine. I will miss him.
