[Rotary] One less friend

[Gloria A. Liner]

I have been sitting with my sadness and gratitude that I was lucky enough to know John all these years. His tenacious commitment to Rotary has been an inspiration as his has his love of his wife Janis, his church, his community, and all of us. We were blessed to know him and he will continue to inspire me.
