Dear Maribeth and Family,
We were so saddened to hear of John's passing. Thinking of you with loads of prayers, strength, and love at this difficult time. Larry will always say "If anyone made an impact on me in high school, it was John Wardrop". He has always and will always admire his first basketball coach and mentor! RIP John - will never be forgotten
