Lacy and Family, I was sorry to read about the loss of your brother. I remember him from SSPP school. I also remember your Mother as she was my third grade teacher. May he RiP and may your good memories of days gone by sustain you through these sad days. Sincerely, Marian Bea Pruitt

Just like Matthew, I remember thinking John was as strong as superman when I was a kid. In fact, his love for exercise and fitness was a huge influence on me that has led me to my current career as a professor in kinesiology. But it wasn't just the biceps that made a an impression on me - it was the love, time and attention John gave me so generously. He was a hero, a mentor, a best friend and a wonderful brother to me. I love him and will miss him very much.

Uncle John had a gift when it came to playing with kids. Whether he was dodging blows from Paul's makeshift numchucks or running around with us kids at a family reunion, John helped us all have a great time. With love and appreciation, Cloe

My uncle John was very sporty when he was younger. I remember a visit in Baltimore when I was about 5 or 6 and he was just over 20. I thought I was so strong because I could flip him over my shoulder onto his back. Of course he was just taking a dive (many) for his naive young nephew, but boy did I think I was powerful! I'll miss this guy. Lots of love and good memories. Nephew Matthew
