I’ll always remember what an incredible and challenging person he was in high school—- especially when we were competing for student council positions.

An extraordinary and stimulating communicator .

I' so sorry to hear about the loss of another classmate. While I didn't know John well. I always admired his confidence and ability to engage and lead people.
May God continue to comfort and bring peace to all in this difficult time.

I will always remember his amazing memory for all the students he counseled. His encouragement , caring heart and genuine interest in everyone he met brightened everyone’s day.

I always looked forward to talking with him at our high school reunions.
