I was saddened to hear of John's passing. I knew him through his many years serving the Senior Sixes. Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss.

With great love & respect to John Sr Family ** I first met your Dad at McLaren Park while walking JohnJr/Mike's dog. We soon had monthly dinners with stories of his travels, Poly High and Sr Family updates updates mixed with his seven & seven and wine during these many meals. We watch 49'ers 2002 Super Bowl at his "444" house. JMW had great love and respect for his children and the many grand kids in their education and careers.
