Prayers for John´s children, family and friends. Fond memories of John from our Class of `85, homecoming, florida trip,
"science club" and seeing him running around in a trash bag to make wrestling weight - never did understand that and of course the leader of the Toth boys; John in my class, Jeff with my sister and Jimmy with my brothers.
