I immediately got a long with John, not despite his crass nature but probably because of it. We instantly bonded over stories from NewEngland and I enjoyed his jokes immensely. There was a point during climbing that I was told I wouldn’t be able to finish because of missing a certain step due to work. John vouched for me saying something to the effect of he would rather climb with me than most others and he trusted me (probably because I laughed at his jokes and didn't get offended easily!). I have so much respect for John so it meant the world to me.
Such an honor to have met him and spend the short amount of time in his presence. He will be missed.
