John Arnold Wilkerson

I first met John when he arrived as a UH freshman to live in our family's backyard apt attached to our house. He was a hurdler for the UH track team so I connected with him because I was a hurdler at my high school. Being the only child, I considered him as a big brother. He and I spent time being coached by my father at the old Cooke Field, and we even studied together at the Sinclair Library. Those days will always be with me. Blessings to Maile and family.

To Maile and the girls, my deepest sympathy. As you know I have kept in touch with Jack over all these years. I was also able to come to your home a couple of times. Jack was a special friend and I will miss him. In his last message to me he said maybe I will see you on the other side. I hope that comes true.
