I am sad to hear of John's passing, but have happy memories of John from our childhood sports (baseball, soccer) at Ambleside Park. My sincere condolences to your family.

To Bunty, Bruce, Betty Lou, and extended family,
I'll always remember John letting the pesky younger kids play tackle football on the boulevard when we were kids and his quiet intelligence. We're so sorry for your loss.
