Mr. Walstrum was my instructor in electronics technology at CCC. He was, as many others here have commented, a highly-respected person at the school and generally in the electronics field. He had a profound effect on my career development and I feel that I owe him a lot. I was sorry to learn of his passing.
MMHS Reunion 2013, We will miss you!!

John was always one of my favorite people at CCC. His positions were always well thought out. No one, I repeat no one, disliked John. He was the epitome of a perfect gentleman.
