I can only say that I’m in shock at the news of John. He and I were inseparable in high school and I can honestly say that a significant part of who I am today came from my friendship with him. I regret that we drifted apart over the last few years but 2500 miles of separation will do that. Every time I did make it back, I’d see John, and it was like I never left. I will truly miss John and would like to send my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
