    I will always remember John as a quiet and friendly school mate and fellow school bus rider. Ed came to know and love John best when he was in the University Hospital and he tried to visit him there everyday. I am sorry that John has passed away and I would like to convey my sympathy so deeply felt to all his family. (P.S. Good picture!) Sincerely, Eileen Karpinski
