I grew up in a house down the street from that big white New Jersey suburb house you mentioned. John has left a legacy as did Paul. I think the two brothers are reunited in a magical place.

I am Lu Shunqing, the coordinator of WCS China Reptile Program. In the recent 3 years, I worked together with John T.. Together, we band the radio transmitters on Chinese alligators; we released 6 Chinese alligators in Dongtan Wetland, Chongming Island; we visited the two Chinese alligator breeding centers in China several times; we surveyed the potential habitat along the Yangtze river. We also plan to visit several fresh water lakes in Anhui this year, but……Thank you, John, I learned much from you. God bless you! When I got the tragic news, I was too sad to write any words.

As Wangzhenghuan said, John is the genuine and greatest friend of our lab, he gave us valuable help on alligator research, and brought us happiness. We love him. His passing away is a huge shock to us, I think it is the saddest news in 2010! I could not say more, I just want to say he did excellent job in China, and made good friend here also. God bless John.

I my memory, he was a nice, kind,humorous biologist. he was devoted himself to Chinese Alligator for a long time and brought lots of good understanding and spirit for us, these younger generation.

I am Dr. Wang Zhenghuan from East China Normal University (ECNU), Shanghai, China. John worked with us on a Chinese alligator project since 1997, and I became to know him since 2000 when I just entered the graduate school of ECNU as a graduate student. To my knowledge, John was a wise, kind, earnest, humorous man. But, what makes me most impressed is his persistence to pursue the truth. I remember the statement he told me in 2003:"Nothing is easy in the adult world." This statement is always in my mind when I encounter problems. John told me an interesting thing from his nephew (I don't know which one) to him. He received a greeting card from his nephew on which the "Uncle John" was misspelled to "nucal John", which reminded us the neck scale of alligators. Later, Nucal John became the nickname which I called him. As the plan he would visit us in Shanghai in this May. Unfortunately...... We will keep on the work which is started with him. And I will tell his stories to my students. A good man should be rememberd by the younger generations. I wish him happiness in heaven, my mentor and my elder friend. What a sad news!
