Please accept our deepest condolences over the passing of John. As many know, he was a dynamic and engaged individual who did so much for so many. He epitomized doing the greater good for the Department of Animal Science, the Stockmen's Club, Penn State, the State College community and his treasured family. I (TE) distinctly remember meeting John the first time during my interview for a faculty position in what was then the Department of Dairy and Animal Science. This was in 1978 and the interaction occurred at the Meats Lab. He put me through the paces to "see what I was made of"! It was a memorable meeting that I have never forgotten.
We shall miss him so much. He was a valued colleague and friend who will be deeply missed by many. May wonderful memories of John and his legacy comfort you
