Sandy Moore Klinzing, Judy Weaver Benedict, and I, Marlene Miller Smithers, were Spanish majors at IUP. We graduated in 1965 with John, who was our dear friend. We were saddened to read of his passing in the recent IUP Alumni Magazine. We were all in the same Spanish classes together and enjoyed our time together. Today we exchanged memories and shared experiences with John, so glad that we knew him.
Please accept our sincere condolences.

John was absolutely hands-down the most influential person in my life. I have known him since I was in 6th grade and we have remained friends ever since. I have written a chapter on him in a book I am going to publish. It is too long to print here but if anyone would like to read that chapter, please email me at the following email: [email protected] I am not sure I would be here today without John's influence in my life, from teacher and employer to mentor and friend. I am heartbroken at his loss and know he was beloved by hundreds if not thousands of people. My condolences to Barry and the family and friends who loved him so. Todd Keith
