My condolences to John's family. He was an exemplar for our wonderful game of bridge. I still remember as a neophyte playing against John and Barry in the early 70s in St. Louis. John will certainly be missed but his life was a celebration of humanity's greatest virtues. Rest in peace. From a friend and dear admirer, Dennis E. Sorensen
In about 1977, John was at his kitchen table with me and the late Dr. Kent Jones, the bridge playing English professor, that frequently played with the late Mrs. Fran Beard, with whom John placed in the recent Dallas National Mixed Pair. John offered $1000, to whomever could tell from whence comes the line, "I am part of all that I have met." It was no accident John was with one that had been recited Tennyson's Ulysses by his father at age 4, and an English prof that drilled it. The poem was exemplary of his life. John laid down markers for excellence in many arenas. Winning 3 consecutive National Open Pairs in a row was one of them. He collected friends like he collected bridge championships and treasured them all.
