John Grgich was one of the finest men I have known. Loyal to a fault, once you were his friend, there was nothing he would not do for you, whatever the case. He and Judy helped me personally after a auto accident on Columbus. He and Judy stood with me at my wedding in California in 1992. Both Linda and I extend our deepest condolences to John's family. John will be missed by a great many people.
