I'm so sorry to see of John's passing. I remember him always helping out at Topeka West with Athletics, and he ALWAYS had a smile on his face. What a nice gentleman. My heartfelt condolences to the family.

Such a sweet soul. The class of 1985 has lost one of the best. His smile and laughter brought joy to us all.
