Not sure what to say?

Although it has been a while, we enjoyed many fine times as classmates at Sidwell Friends School. John's name rekindles fond memories of a chapter in my own life which has been revisited many times with joy at the friends and acquaintances that were made at Sidwell. RONALD KANE

I always considered John as a very close friend during our school days. I have a lot of fond memories of our get-togethers. I believe the last time I saw John was when Neil Williams and I visited John at Washington & Lee University at the end of his Freshman or Sophomore year for a weekend of parties. John was one of those few people whom no one ever had an unpleasant thing to say about him. I certainly had a lot of respect for him and have thought about him over the years.

It's been decades since we saw each other but I remember a fine classmate with a wonderful smile. We were in touch after Katrina and he has been on my mind for a long time. I extend my condolences and appreciate great memories of some of the wonderful antics of youth we shared.

John was my best friend in high school and we drove together to see the SCCA races at VIR in Danville, VA. He had an Alfa and I had a Porsche. Those were good times.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
