I remember John reading each of the James Herriot books in 10th grade in class. He loved animals and shared a copy of “All Creatures Great and Small” with me. He will be surrounded by all of the animals that he lovingly tended on this earth, I am sure.

Dear Rosa and Bill, I was so very saddened to hear of John’s passing this past summer. He was a truly extraordinary human being, both in terms of his intellect, and his heart.
