So very sad to learn of John's passing. John & I were active in the drama dept at Maine South HS. We ran into each other again in 2013 at an Arlington Heights hardware store. I will always remember John as a brilliant, talented person with a big heart. My deepest condolences to his wife, son & extended family.
