I'm very sorry to hear about the early passing of John. I considered him a very good friend while in high school. I'll remember him most when he was standing on the bow of his boat and keeping his balance in very rough Lake Erie waters; I suppose he got that from his water polo days. God Bless the Crowl family and thanks for the memories John!
I'll hug my five year old a little tighter tonight.
