Joanie and family, My brother Ron and John were good friends at East. You lived close and I clearly recall all of the golf they played. Ron continued to play until he died of cancer, too. He spoke of John and the good times they had playing. While they went to different colleges, I believed they stayed in touch from time to time. I was not surprised to read about John's awards...we always thought he was talented as an architect. I am so sorry to read about his passing.
