John certainly made his mark here on earth leaving all of us with MANY fond and hilarious memories from high school! From wearing mom's sweaters to school to always arriving to Economics class just shy of the bell and always hair uncombed fresh out of the shower and shoes never tied...we wouldn't have had 'Teachout' any other way...we love ya buddy and know that even though your presence will be sadly missed here on earth, heaven will be a funner place and will be lucky to have you!
