John died on April 27, 1991 of myelofibrosis, a form of leukemia. He was trying to run his business Belco, Inc. (over $50 mil. in sales) while, at the same time, trying to get well. At his memorial service I included a quote from Oscar Wilde which seemed to fit John perfectly. "To live is the rarest thing in the world - most people just exist." John knew how to live.
John was so fun, so real, so honest -- a wonderful person. I can't imagine the loss for his famly and friends. He was my friend too, even though I hadn't seen him since high school Some people are friends forever, and he was such a person. He is with God now.
John always had that mischievious smile! He was just the greatest guy. I am so sorry for his family on his early passing. I was lucky to go to grade school and high school with him.
