John was a true honest character. You always knew when you went up to talk to him that you would get a story out of the encounter. He was the best kind of person to have on a long trail trek – you could never get bored!! John and I started the Mountaineers Scrambles class at the same time and went through many a field trip since then. He loved teaching and seeing the ‘ah ha’ moment in the students faces when they finally mastered the skill. He touched the lives of so many in the scrambling and climbing program. We will truly miss his engagement and passion.
