Well it’s been a year John. A week doesn’t go by that I don’t reach for my phone to see if you have time for a coffee. I miss you.
Such a great supporter of Vikes basketball and our community. Rest in Peace Pappy!
Marvelee, Loukas and Alexander: I was so sorry to hear about John. As everyone says, he was an incredible person and a joy to spend time with. We met occasionally for coffee and he always had a big smile on his face and his energy was infectious. I’m really going to miss that. Sending prayers for John and wishing you all the best during this difficult time. Alan, Heather, Grace, Ryan
RIP Pappy ❤️
