My thoughts and prayers are wafting out to my friend and classmate John and his entire family. I have very pleasant memories of John while we attended St Paschals. First of all he tried to teach me the best way to ride his (I think his new) horse. As soon as I mounted bareback I was bucked off but luckily pushed off it´s rear and I landed on my feet in behind the beautiful but spry animal. Also had great memories of us two playing football as his dad was our coach. We sometimes ended practice or a game at the Tasty Freeze for a cone. Rest in peace my friend.
