So sorry to read about John's passing. He was quite a character in high school. I have fond memories of John at Riley and am sorry to have lost touch with him. It looks as if he had a rewarding and productive life.
Rest in peace.

To Bob Million (Riley '63) - So sorry to see the notice of John's passing. You and John often walked up Rush St. to Riley past the house gathering classmate Leonard Gaska and I on the way. John was an impressive contributor to Southern Indiana politics.

I went to high school AND Kalamazoo College with John and saw him last in 2015, as the 50th Reunion. He was as funny as ever, cracking jokes and telling stories about his time in the foreign study program in Bonn, Germany. He was one of the few people I knew at that time who could remember my parents in South Bend, and that meant a lot to me. I knew of his love for music but not of his participation in a choir. He was always diligent and I'm sure a good attorney. He will be missed. Johnette (Frick) Rodriguez
