John was a member of my wrestling team in high school and got to know him well. He was close friends with Frank May, Dan Kennedy and Tommy Hemmer (all Price Hill guys with him). Have not seen or talked to John in many years but it was a sad day when a mutual friend passed this info along to me yesterday. He is a connection to my past that was a great time in my life. Also, I was the Head Wrestling Coach at Elder HS an had a couple of Monk's (Josh and Aaron) wrestle for me (Dad's name is Brian) not sure if they are related but they boh resemble John in stature and build toughness. Rest in Peace my Frien. My condolences to the Monk family.
