My condolences to John’s family and the McIntyre clan. I remember Mrs. Horine, the hs speech teacher, having John come back to HHS and do a speech he had performed and she had been so impressed with.
I was very sorry to hear of my friend John passing away. My sympathy to Jim, Susan, and all of his siblings, and also to his wife Elaine and his children and grandchildren. John and I rode the school bus together, were in FFA together, participated in Ag. mechanic contests together, and so on. He was a very easy person to like and be friends with. Sincerely, Mike Dillon
