John, Jerry Doll and I were very close friends during our years at Archbishop Rummel H.S. I'm very sad to hear the news of his passing and deeply regret not keeping in touch with him post high school graduation. Greg Collamer (Temecula, CA)

I knew John many years ago when he did some work for the world-herald in Omaha.
He had a unique sense of humor and was
a nice person. I know he'll be missed
by many. Rest in Peace John!
