I remember meeting John when I interviewed him straight out of college. He joined a tight group and quickly became a solid part of our team and a member of a close group of friends. Our paths intertwined of and on again after that, but we always had great respect for each other. His passing is a loss to anyone who knew him, and to those that didn’t get a chance to.
My condolences to his family and friends. May his memory be a source of consolation to you in this trying time and forever more.

I was thinking about my childhood friend, John and decided to do a search to see if I could find out how his life turned out.
We were next door neighbors in Simi , California at the age of 5. We were best buddies! I always admired his intelligence and was very sad when he and his family moved away at the age of 9 to Bakersfield.
I remember his younger sister, Tani Lynn but John and I didn’t play much with his little sister.
And a couple of times I “helped” ( as much as a 7-year-old could help) his Mom, Judy pull some weeds from the front lawn.
I am shocked and so saddened to discover that John passed away at such an early age.
But it sounds like he lived a good life, and for that I am thankful.
So, with heavy heart, I say goodbye to the boy who, aside from my younger sister, Lisa, was my very first best friend.
I pray for the peace of his family. God bless you.
