John and I attended Clark Jr. High and Lincoln High School together in Vincennes. I regret that I have only seen him but a very few times since those days together.
In those days, I remember him as good student and a good kid who was a bit quiet but with a wry sense of humor, an occasional harmless prank, and the ability to laugh at Life and spread cheer. He was an example to us all not to take things too seriously.
I am sad at the loss of an old classmate and sorry for the sadness that his departure brings to his family.
