George W. John

A wonderful man and certainly a good friend

I had the pleasure of knowing George and his family in 1963, and I worked for him in the Renaissance Book Store. I will never forget his constant kindness and how he encouraged me as an aspiring artist. And I loved his books! Pure genius. What an amazing and loving soul! - Robert Wilson, www.rrwilsonart.com

I'm so glad your passing was peaceful. I first met you when we worked together in 1959 at Bill Schroeder's Bookstore. Through the succeeding years, we'd meet accidentally at various places and talk a bit. Mutual friends would let me know how you were every now and then. From all this, and from your poetry books, I felt your constant kindness and generosity of character. You were a gift to all who had a chance to have spent time with you. Your presence among us is and will be...

R.I.P. George; I have fond memories of sharing dinner and wine with you many times. I've alway felt that I learned from the best there was. " A $400. painting will always be worth just $400."-G.J. So long old pal, until we meet again some sunny day. j.d.mitchell, J.Spencer's old partner in art and crime.

Maria and family, I am so sorry for your loss. He was a good man. I was honored to have met him. You are in my heart.
