He was my first love at tender age of 15. He was 18 and a dashing man in uniform.

Mr Pingo was one of my all time favorite teachers. He was kind man with a terrific smile.
I will always have fond memories of him, as will the rest of the Anderson kids.
Sad to see this and sorry to not be able to attend the service :(

John was fun, focused on kids, and a supportive colleague. He was so helpful to many of us as we began our careers at Sumner. His professionalism and thoughtfulness (and his ability to be less than reverent!) were models for many of us as we led and supported our students and teachers. My thoughts are prayers are with Anne, family members and his many dear friends. He was a gift to this world!

Mr. Pingo was my PE teacher for all my six years at Sacramento elementary. He was a really terrific teacher. I was in adaptive PE for a couple of those years and he was so great working with me.

I eventually became a modest athlete who played varsity basketball at Parkrose and was a small college All-American. Not sure if it...
