I am saddened to know that my friend and fraternal brother in Alpha Phi Alpha has passed. We shared a room while attending Penn State Univ. and enjoyed many long pseudo-philosophical discussions. John also presided over the marriage of Denise Robinson and I back in 1977. My condolences to all his family and friends. He was a special person.
