John was a different kind of kid. He was a big teaser, and also was teased by many. I was a classmate of his and friends with his sister, Barbara, when he passed away. He had signed up for the service, unknown to them that John had Epilipsey, but it was something he wanted to do. He had been in an accident two weeks before entering the service. He had just arrived at the fort where he was sent to start basic training, went to bed and never woke up. He had developed walking pneumonia and passed during the night. RIP----John, he really was a good guy and funny

James Usher (1965)

I, too, remember John as we went to school in elementary and later on. Yes, he was seemingly odd, but had quite a rollicking sense of humor.  He has been gone quite awhile now, but memories linger.  I will not forget him.  And I am James Usher who towered over him and everybody else at West High cuz I am 6 feet 9 inches and was, too, then.
