John personified the giving part of life. He gave a lot to all of us over the years. He was a valued member of our class who never failed to provide support when needed; he was a stalwart member of the track team who was always there to encourage us as we struggled to perform to our best; he was a great friend throughout our Army careers and after.
John thanks for all that; we will dearly miss you; you will always be in our prayers.
