I will miss my brother so much . He was hit by a vehicle four years ago on November 16, 2004 . I will miss his smile and the way he would wink during a story . I’m glad he is able to join my Mom .

I went to school with John at Schulte and again at Case. I was not close to him, but I knew him to be a very kind soul. I was saddened to hear of his passing. I know that is very long after the fact, but my prayers are with his family.
