Deepest sympathy to Gary, Raelene, and all family and friends. I met John's college buddies in Florida a few years ago. I noticed an OSU shirt, and said go Bucks!, They asked where I was from. When I said originally from Wapakoneta, they replied ... do you know any Gerens? This lead to a phonecall to John. It was a good day. So sad to hear the news of his passing.
