To John's Family: My thoughts go out to you in this hour of mourning. I knew John from high school days at Grandview Heights H.S. He went into the Merchant Marine, and I went into the Navy. Our paths crossed several times later at his store on N. High Street. He was a nice gentleman and I'm sure he will be missed by many.
