How's the view up there John?

You fought many a hard battle so very courageously and God now hold you in his loving arms.

You finally made it home big guy. Just tweaking my memory to envision our bus ride home from our first week of two a days for JV football. Faces around me were dirty and sweaty, Haussman, Nowicki, Moore, Henry, Irving, Reese, Mecca , Komlo, Wiles, Lassick were just a few. Oh yeah... and bus driver coach Ricky Cook. I remember John saying " I don't think I'm gonna make it thru another one of these". Well, you made it buddy.
God bless you and remember us down here hoping to join you when we're called by our Maker
