Oh no!
If this is the John that I often sat next to when I attended my first VT softball games last year (and I believe it is), I echo everything Chip said. Even though I barely got to know John, I could just tell he was one of those "salt of the earth" kind of guys that the world needs more of. Yes, Hokie Nation lost a good one - condolences to his friends and family. And special condolences to you Chip as I know you lost a good friend and I know it will be with a heavy heart that you will cheering on the ladies today and tomorrow.

My wife and I will truly miss Farmer John. We'd only gotten to know him
