I have known John since 1957, meeting on the JCSU campus. We became good friends and shared many times with our two families. We did a lot of traveling together in and out of the country. We checked on each other daily. I will cherish the memories forever. I have lost a great friend, but heaven's gain. See you later Brother.

We really became friends as we were older and traveled all over our country together every year til he began to tire. It was so much fun to be with him. We laughed and joked with much laughter. John was...
