He was the original "class clown" of Chief Delphi.
Search for some of his older posts.
He founded team 419 the Rambots, still one of my favorite FIRST teams. He did everything he could for those kids, and drove that team with the sheer power of his will.
When he burnt out, FIRST lost a GREAT mentor.

this made me want to cry.
Maybe one day, when i'm rich in time and money and life, i'll go sponsor a buncha teams again. i do miss FIRST. I miss what it did for me, what i gave back to it, and best of all the people that made it so wonderful. John, you're the best.
I'll take this opportunity to say hello to all the first-a-holics i bumped into in my life... all of you guys made it wonderful. I miss you all.

ps. a girlfriend might also take you away from FIRST. and she's not a FIRSTer (though i did drag her to the connecticut competition this year as I watched in the bleachers for the first time.) she does like robotics though.
