Coach Sowinski taught me how to tackle, but more importantly how to respect others as well as myself. I received a great education at SHG between the hours of 8-3, but learned how to survive and flourish between the hours of 4-6 during practice. I remember coach said," if you are going to take the time to do something, you might as well do it better than everyone else"- I apply this too everything I do, everyday. Thank you Coach, you will never be forgotten.

Susie & Family, please accept our condolences. John was a wonderful person. My contact with him was attending seminars he conducted at SRS. He was the best and made everything so easy to understand.
He will be missed.
