Haven't talked to John in almost 40 years. Just drifted apart after school.

To John's family: I am heartbroken with you in your loss. John always did his best and brought more smiles and laughs to me than I can count. He taught me so much about the gym and invested into so many. I'm grateful to have known John and will treasure those memories.
