As in this picture posted, John always had a great smile on his face and would light up the mornings before we all trekked off to our first class.

He made us laugh and that is how I will always remember him. God bless him and his family.

It's difficult to express my shock and sorrow upon learning of John's passing. Just as his photo shows, he was a great and vibrant personality with a wonderful sense of humor - always smiling. I also remember John (#67) always doing a great job as an offensive tackle on our awesome football team. My thoughts and prayers go to his family.
