Sad news. I was a classmate of PQ's at both St John's Prep and Villanova. We also ran on the track team together at the prep. He was a terrific person to have known. A true gentleman if ever there was one. My sincere condolences to the Yancy family for their loss.

To the Yancey Family, Please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of such a wonderful person as PQ. Track practices would not have been the same without PQ and his 'sea& ski'. Rest in peace ,my friend.
