Heartbroken to hear another of our classmates has passed away. John has been such a great asset to our High School Reunions with his skills as a photographer. He also was always upbeat and cracking jokes. I was fortunate to have had several phone contacts with John over the last couple of years and he had many great stories to tell me. I know he loved living in Florida. He will be greatly missed. Priscilla
