I am saddened to learn of Johns passing. He was a bright, inquisitive student in my chemistry classes at Jefferson. I always admired his willingness to engage others and to welcome interaction with all of his fellow students. He was a bright spot in many of my teaching days. I am very sorry for your loss.// John Penrose
