| About | My brother, John Aquino, is a Meade alumni from Class of 1982. He died after a 5-year fight with sinus cancer on October 18, 2005 at age 40. His legacy page is still listed on the Singleton Funeral Home site. http://www.singletonfuneralhome.com/ He was very active in sports in high school, and throughout his life. He attended several reunions for his class, and many of his close friends that supported him in his darkest moments were folks he met in high school and before. He was a great supporter of his kids, and family. He was an avid sportfisherman, and a huge Baltimore Ravens football fan. In his last year of life, he had an amazing opportunity to visit the training camp and spend time with the players! He always felt Ray Lewis (#52, but #1 practice jersey on), and Ed Reed (#20) were warriors on the playing field, and he drew strength from them in his own real life battles. It was a real thrill for him to spend a few moments talking to them one on one. These photos of he & his son, John Jr., were taken by the team's professional photographer as a courtesy. Their name is unknown, but would like to give proper credit. Also, here is a link to a video montage with pics of John and scenes friends & family volunteering in his memory.
