My fondest memories of John are of him getting in trouble in elementary school and sitting in the hall way with Neal Ford and Wesley Greer. He just seemed to always have something up his sleeve. I remember he saying that his mom would get on to him becau##imported-begin##Rosy and Doris##imported-end##
