John was a good man and a fine friend. He had a great sense of humor. That was combined with the wisdom and integrity to do that which was right. I have lost both a mentor and friend.
Thank you, John, for your service to our nation, and to the Cleveland Grays. You were one of the most welcoming when I was the new guy at the Grays. And, you were always strongly supportive of our efforts to professionalize and grow the Armory Museum. Again, thank you.
