I’m sure some of you longtime fans from the Huntsville area remember John, he passed last night.
He was a great old-school journalist of the kind who fairly covered what happened on the field or court and offered cogent opinions in his columns instead of rabble rousing. And in a trade that tends to attract a lot of yahoos and bird brains, he was just a good man, one of the finest men to ever draw breath.
The reason journalism and sports writing in particular is in such a state is there are no more John Pruetts around.

Great old school newspaper man.
Loved it when newspapers were paper and not a political mouth.
RIP
