John was a teammate at USL from 1965-1969.
John was some 10 years older than most of us on the track team. To me he provided inspiration to all of us by effort. I was a high jumper and just being proximal to his training regimen and competitive grit influenced me and others to work harder and compete harder. Our success was due in part to John’s influence.
I pray for the family and they’re loss.
