Bonnie, Mary and family,

I am very sorry for your loss. John was a great person and a real inspiration to me and so many others. I was very moved by his commitment to social justice and I have fond memories from when I was a kid in Bala Cynwyd as well as the trip I made to Glen Lake to visit you after I moved to CA.

Dear Bonnie and family
I am sorry with you for the loss of John. I was one of the folks from the East Coast Conspiracy to Save Lives. If you or any of your family are in Southeast Florida we would be honored to have you stay with us. ❤Michael Panella

Dr. Raines changed my life. As an undergraduate student at Temple U. in 1967 I took a World Religion course with this giant of a man. I was 19 years old, knew not much about anything, but was eager to learn. To this day, I have never forgotten how Dr. Raines opened my eyes and my mind to a world of complexity and compassion. His sharp mind and almost messianic presentations in class enthralled and enlightened me. Dr. Raines' classroom in Curtis Hall became my personal church/synagogue. I will never forget him as long as I live.
