You will be greatly missed at The Atrium and senior center. I always liked teasing with you and discussing "old" San Jose. No doubt you have joined the heavenly music as you now play for the Lord.

I am a local EMT who had the pleasure of transporting John to and from the hospital over the last two months. Wow what a man and what a spirit! It was a pleasure knowing him for the short time I was allowed. I wish I would have met him YEARS earlier. I spent a time in prayer with John on friday. Thank you for the opportunity to pray with you John! Ill see you again and await the opportinty to hear you play all of the beautiful music you play!

I worked with John at BofA Phelan Monterey Hwy branch.
Professionally he was my supervisor but personally he was a friend.
His humor and kindness will be missed.

I remember when he called our office and he would tell me stories about his days traveling. It was a pleasure speaking with him. My condolences.
