As I remember him, John Corby was a gentle giant of a figure in high school. Quiet and kind with the sweet nature of a young lad trying to fit in with the crowd. And fit in he did. Everyone knew and liked John, it was hard not to. My sympathy to John's family and friends. Rest in Peace John. Rest in Peace.
