John, I’m always crushed when I hear that another alumni leaves our group. I reflect on the great times we had in high school and the many laughs at the Brook House. I could never forget the St Lucy’s gang and how long we’ve all been friends. Rest In Peace my brother, you earn your keep and I will always be proud to have been your friend.

I'm sorry and sad to learn of John's passing. We were golfing buddies, and I know how much he loved the game. John's first love was his family. He will be remembered by many his Madison Club friends. May he rest in peace.
