I was saddened to read of John´s passing. We were good friends in high school. There was an openness, honesty, and vulnerability in our conversations. We were two young men trying to make our way in the world. We so enjoyed each other´s company. I cherish the bond we had and for the kindness John showed me. I send my love to John´s sisters, Carol and Mary.
