Condolences from the members of the Shenandoah Valley Stamp Club. John was a long-time member and active participant. We will miss him.
I knew John from mutual involvement in the Warren Co Democratic Committee. I was Chair from 2005 to 2009, and again 2020/2021. I always valued John’s keen insights, his passion for the labor movement in general, and how it inter-played with party politics. In addition to attending our meetings and keeping up his membership, he often volunteered to help, especially at the polls on election days. I know he was a man of religious faith and practice. I named him in my church’s prayers today. He will be appreciatively remembered, and genuinely missed.
