I will always remember John as a student and his willingness to be mentored. I remember the many afternoons we would sit under a tree on the UD mall and about everything from his love for sports to world economics. We even had a catch in front of the main administration building on campus. The discussion for him to attend grad school would be one of great decisions of his life. His life was broaden so much. His impact was felt by many. I will miss him. Mentor and Friend, Ron Whittington
