The world just lost a wonderful man. I have know JC for 4 decades. A wonderful caring, compassionate individual whom I will very much miss. I could always depend on JC for friendship, advice, and the most amazing jokes I have every heard. His smile was infectious and his humor sharp. You have touched many lives and will be missed by so many.
