“Michael and I send comforting prayers and sincere condolences to the entire family. He was well-respected and admired by his SU colleagues, friends, & the community. He is especially remembered for his recent contribution, as he supported the continued quest for democracy, his proud stance in his efforts, and his participation in the friendly marches in Franklin County. John will be missed by so many of us and may continue to his family each day.”
