Emily and family, I am sending you my sincerely prayers and will be thinking of you each night I pray for strength. God be with you as you move day to day and remember this amazing, wonderful, giving man. I so appreciate all he did to help our students while he volunteered at Taft.
John gave me my first job at the old Kernels ballpark back in 99 to 2001. Also worked with him one summer at Kirkwood ball complex off airport rd. One of the best bosses ever. I know he loved his family especially you Emily. Hugs to all of you.
My heartfelt wishes for comfort at this time. I only got to work with John for a year at Cleveland but I enjoyed him so much. He was kind, funny, and had a genuine heart for our students. He is already missed.
