I am heartbroken to hear of John passing. Having worked alongside him for many years,I felt like he was family.John was more than a colleague, he was a source of support and kindness,and no matter the situations he remained steady and composed.We spent a lot of time talking about sports,and it will forever remain a mystery as to how he was so accurate in his ability to pick winning teams.I haven't seen any sport analyst that even come even close to his ability yet , and I will never forget when he told me in 1978 when the Yankees was 15 games out of first place,he said" you watch,the Yankes will win the division " and sure enough they did,and as the voice of the Yankess would say "HOW ABOUT THAT" .Rest in peace John!
