Dear Liz,
My association with John began in the late 1980s when I hired him to be an adjunct instructor of mathematics. I appreciated that fact that semester after semester he taught for us on the Rome campus. I then had many phone conversations with John during which I found him to be a most interesting, intelligent and personable individual.
Although I lost contact with him when I retired in 1996, I reconnected with him in recent years at annual luncheons for retired faculty and staff. I was pleased to learn that he had been hired as a full-time instructor. When we talked at the June 27th luncheon I had no idea that he was fighting that horrible cancer, as he was his usual upbeat, friendly and low-key self.
John was an effective instructor who I'm certain left a positive imprint on his students. In short, he was one of the good guys who put back more than he took. My hope is that your treasured memories of him will sustain you and your family through this difficult time.
