When I transferred to Heights High in 1969 from an all boys Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, I didn't know anyone and wasn't prepared for the culture shock I was about to experience. John was the first person to reach out & become my friend. He exposed me to Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin & so much more. Yep he corrupted the skinny Catholic boy, but we had so much fun & so many crazy times.
Shortly after I got married (John was one of my groomsmen), I moved out of state and we lost contact. It saddens me to learn of his passing.
Rest in peace my friend. You will be in my prayers.
