For Christmas, John's little brother Mike, his sister-in-law Gina, and his niece and nephew Ariana and Bentley gave John's parents the most wonderful Christmas present -- a generous donation to John's technology fund at Mother Catherine Academy -- the successor school to the kid's elementary school. The technology fund is a tangible part of John's legacy -- a fund established to -- as Mike would like to say -- "help the big geek contribute to the formation of a lot of little geeks." In addition to the contribution, Mike, Gina, Ariana and Bentley wrote (or in Bentley's case, conveyed through his mom) the following notes to accompany the gift (click on each image to read).
Mother Catherine itself has also become a part of John's legacy in that his Dad is now the Acting President/Trustee of this newly independent Catholic elementary school. All of his Dad's efforts at Mother Catherine are done in John's memory and is just another way that John's legacy lives on. Learn more about Mother Catherine at this link.
