I had just taken the notion to call "Babes" and found his obituary rather than a phone number. Growing up I never had a better friend, and Howell Grammar School never had a student with more grit. May his memory be a blessing to all those left behind. Sincerely,
Arnold (Kenny) Nelson

"Baby John" and I grew up as neighbors. We had many adventures together (some our parents never knew about!) and spent hours at each others homes. He was a good friend and will be missed
