Yesterday
it's really hard to say....back in the day, PingPong in the garage/ Beer pong. He always won it!
John was always the encyclopedia of sports, even in grade school.
We had radio broadcast every Monday at Lincoln School. He had sports, and I had the weather!

Yesterday
John was such a wonderful man to know. As our accountant, he helped us to navigate the many complex issues involved with annual tax submissions. But he always took time to know us on a personal level and that was always special to us. He was also proud of his family and shared stories of his life with his wife and his two children. He always had a smile on his face and he had a little giggle that always made us smile and showed us how happy he was.
We will miss John's professional skills, and above all, his love for friends and family.

My sincerest condolences to the entire family. I first met John in 1993 in Hancock Leadership and maintained a friendship since that time. He was a true professional, a gentleman, and a community steward. You all should be proud of his legacy. I am proud to have called him a friend.
