I knew John from our days at The university of Iowa, when we were on the same football team. We kept in touch when I was assigned to work in D.C with the Secret Service. John was a mentor and a person who you could talk and laugh with and who grew up the same way I did. To his family, my heart felt condolences and he will be missed. Donald Tucker
