Not sure what to say?

John was my neighbor in Petaluma on Prospect Street in the late '60's. He was in a garage band. I recall watching his band practice in his family's garage. It was the coolest thing...

So sorry to hear of John's passing. John and I were neighborhood friends in Santa Rosa. We started playing together and formed the first band I was in back in the 60's. I have such fond memories of those days. He was a very multi talented musician and always a joy to be with. We had a lot of fun. I wish I had stayed in touch with him. My condolences to his family.

Have missed you all these years dear friend. Always in my heart. Blessings to your family John. RIP

R.I.P. John, too soon gone and will be so missed by our family and the band. There's no way to describe how much you have done for us personally & for Nick and for keeping the music going in N. CA. We will remember your friendship. Peace & Love, Marcia, Nick & Tim Gravenites
