District 7430 Youth Exchange

John was a Rotarian in the true sense of the word. As a Rotarian for 30+ year John believed so much in the Rotary's International thinking of "peace and understanding" and "Service Above Self" that he dedicate much of his time to Rotary Youth Exchange.He was a member of the Youth Exchange Committee of District 7430 for 20+ years and participated in ESSEX for many years as a Country Contact, Board of Directors member and ESSEX Outbound Coordinator. His first thought was always "the student". He was a dedicated Youth Exchange Officer, he was a shoulder to cry on, (or vent on), an ear that listened, a great advisor but most of all he was a friend. He will be missed.
