So sorry to hear this news. Although it has been a long time since I’ve seen John there were some special times I enjoyed with him. Childhood get togethers as neighbors, a ski trip to Sun Valley, times with Jon Spearman & him. He had a life well lived.

“Johnny-Me-Boy” was a wonderful, generous, and caring brother even though he called me his "Sisty-Ugler". His sense of humor and way with words amused all who knew him.
I have warm memories of family winter road trips to Colorado, annual summer boating trips in the San ... Continue Reading
