So sad to hear of John's death. I worked with him many years ago at Famous-Barr. There was a lot of crazy, fun times! I will always remember John fondly for his humor and grace.

I was John's 3rd grade teacher at St. Mary's in Madison. I am so sad to learn that his life was much too brief. May God give peace to his family and all who knew and loved him. Gloria Skubish Wall
