My deepest condolences to the McNichol family. I was so saddened to learn of John's passing. John was my baseball coach for several years while at Bonner. He was such an inspiring and giving man who helped us both on and off the field. He was a mentor with rapier wit and a tremendous sense of dry humor. He really knew how to connect with his audience and I am so grateful for the lessons taught and the time John took to help others. He will be sorely missed. Thank you John for all you've done! Now go with God and rest in peace.
