I met John at the USA a couple of years ago. He seemed like such a nice guy. Ruth and I commented on how much he resembled IRON MAN’s Jerry Brainum. I would end up using John and Jerry as look-alikes in a future column.
Isaac Hinds always told me how much he loved going to Organ’s pro figure and fitness show in West Palm Beach in November. He will be missed.
