Sorry to hear of John's passing. We were neighbors till the age of 5, played Tonka trucks with him & Joe. Then went to Hoover High school with him. Small town Des Moines heard of his demise thru a recent friend just after the funeral. I still don't want to search the obits on a regular basis yet. I'm glad his battle was short, wonder if he & Fred Brown are have one together.

John was one of a kind. I first him back in the 70's playing music. He was a good friend and brother and will be missed. So glad we were able to get together in 2008 and play music again for awhile. Peace to the family, and deepest sympathy....

I met John when we were just kids! Having played in a band with John for several years, he was like a brother and he had very uplifting spirit. He will be greatly missed.
