Tony Battelle, also of Blair's class of 1957 and 1958. RIP John. You and my brother Nick, class of 1960, dec. July 2012, had good times together in NYC as he was completing his MBA, also at Columbia University. You were among the many unique and talented individuals that made up the Class of 1958, and with whom I hope to reunite come June. We will be thinking of you and your memorable contribution to that uniqueness.

It was a pleasure and an honor to know John. I am particularly grateful for he and Deb bringing Jen and Charles into the world. My deepest sympathies to all who got to know and love him and will justifiably miss him.

My brother from another mother gave me joy, comfort, wisdom and, above all, a zany take on life that brightened my soul. Even in his dark times, he had kindness and love to share generously. When I remember our crazy youthful antics at Columbia and up until Charlie was born, I grin fiendishly , although I am crying quite freely now. Funny how little memories return. For example, No one could truss and carve a turkey like John. No one I know had such a great store of memorized poems to be trotted out on appropriate occasions. I watched him help raise two amazing children who carry his wit, intelligence and properly sceptical world view. He's not gone, thanks to them, but I do miss him fiercely . By the way, in the wonderful photo, are those kittens Ashie and Boufy?

He will always be my friend; he gave me advice, often when I didn't need it, and showed his compassion when necessary. We enjoyed some wild times together, and to this day wonder how we survived. Yes I will miss our periodic phone conversations. Hope he is resting without pain. And the best to his family.

I love you, Dad. And yes, as I promised I would, I caught your giant orange cat Rufous and wrangled him into my home where he is thriving. You shepherded and protected so many for so long; we all miss you, but you may finally rest in peace.
