It's amazing it has been 4 years since John passed away. I think of him when I see that MASH is on TV. He loved that show. I will cherish the memories we had.

I was deeply saddened to read of John's passing at such a young age. I was John's counselor at John Marshall for 6 years and found him to be a very special young man. Accept my heartfelt sympathy at your loss and know that he will be remembered by me and his classmates of the JM Class of 1980.
