I just learned of John's passing today and was immediately saddened. I first met him years ago when Chris and I were teenagers. I will always remember his energy and how he made us laugh! He had a nick name for everyone and even after all these years I still remember mine. "Noodlebomb." He will always have a special place in my heart. My deepest sympathy to all.
