I had the pleasure of spending the last months of John's (Ricky's) life with him where he shared his life, purpose, feelings, happiness, sadness, worries, and unconditional over flowing love, he always said I was a blessing to him but he was a blessing to me. He had the best sense of humor and smiled all the way to the end he loved everyone he ever met and felt it was his responsibility to keep connected with everyone he is forever engraved in my heart, you are missed my Johnny Angel and all your stories will never be forgotten RIP, love always your Angel!(April)

I knew John as a very friendly greeter at the Glendale Presbyterian Church for many years. We always enjoyed talking about music. When he decided to retire at the age of 62 from his Canterbury Record store job, he kindly recommended me to take his place there as a part-time worker. I miss him very much.
