John and I were best of friends from middle school through high school and even though we went separate ways after high school have always kept in touch. We shared incredible adventures together in our younger days including with our mutual friend Kim Vowell. Such fond memories that will always be with us. John will be missed but will always be a special part of my life. Until our next adventure!
