Karen, I just found out that John passed in July. Although we didn't see much of each other over the years since graduation, I will forever remember our good times on Wilt. My heartfelt condolences to you and the Creachen family.

Karen,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. John was a great person and I know he was very close with our family growing up. I came across John's North Catholic graduation picture, as my mom had this with her photo's in her wallet. At least now, John is at peace and no longer suffering. Love, The Kroyos, Maikner & Wiseman Families.
