JP, I will miss you. My sympathies to all the family. I will never forget in 8th grade we walked out of chemistry lab and played tether ball. You said you were no good. I hit the ball. You caught it with one hand and then took one sharp hit with your hand, it wrapped the pole in two seconds. I was done and shocked. You just smiled. You were always strong as a bull but had a big heart and always kind to others. You were a good friend. May you rest in peace.
