A member of Tower Club, the Orange Key Society, the Orchestra, and Glee Club while also participating in ROTC, John graduated from the School of Public and International Affairs.
An Army military intelligence officer, John served in South Korea and Germany. After earning an MBA from Columbia, he worked for various financial institutions. He married classmate Lisa Barlow in 1995. He participated in the Alumni Schools Committee for years and loved returning to Princeton for Reunions.
John’s prodigious memory awed and amazed his family and the vast collection of friends he amassed throughout his life. Wherever John traveled, he connected deeply with people, maintaining lifelong friendships. His South Korean Army “brother” and a fellow captain from Fort Devens remain close to the family.
John was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Anchorage, singing in the choir. His faith nurtured him throughout his life and comforts those left behind.
The class extends its deepest sympathies to Lisa and their daughters, Rebecca Barlow and Caroline Flournoy.
