Loved his work..got a original signed Path to the beach...beautiful

I loved your work and gallery in Charleston. Thank you for walking a wanna be homemaker out to the street to teach her about reflective light. A truly great artist and an exceptional kind person. Thank you for all the beauty you shared with this world.

I am 68 years old and have always admired the God-given talent he has been blessed with. My passion is art and browsing through his beautiful works of art, I realized he had passed. My prayers are with you and he will always be remembered. I am sure he is at peace with the Lord. God bless. I am from Trinidad and Tobago.

I cannot believe it's almost been a year since we lost you, sweet mentor and friend. Thank you for seeing the light in people and making so many vulnerable artistic souls feel better from your courage and council about emotional survival.

You are so loved and missed and considered a Lowcountry Legend by the SO manny people you connected with via truth, and vulnerability and beautiful art. -AB

I knew John in Charleston High School. He sat in front of me in Latin and we were in typing class together. I had the worst crush on him. I never saw him again after high school, but I knew he had become a well known artist. I come back to Charleston every few years and I always go by his studio. You will be remembered.

My name is Carolyn Gatch Mullis Johnny is my 2nd cousin on my Dad's side of the family. I have so many fond memories growing up and playing with Johnny on Trumbo Street and of course around Colonial Lake. I have not seen Johnny in many years and I'm so sorry to hear if his passing.

John and I met about 35 years ago And became quick friends. As friends lives sometimes do, our's went in different directions. This happens when one of two gets married. John and I continued to work together however, doing something that John just loved to do! He would often play my "significant other" in Charleston TV commercials for Kerrison's Dept. Store. What a super actor he was! He was talented in so many ways .... and so generous! I asked him to donate a painting to a local Charity...

John once told me, back in the early 1980's, that "retirement of an artist is never thought of. You paint until you drop, until the last bit of artistic drive has gone from your body." Then, after some contemplation, he added, "My best work is the next one. Whether you are an oil painting artist, a blacksmith, or cabinetmaker, it seems that your next piece of creation is always going to be the best you've done so far." I imagine John standing now, in front of a canvas filled with lavender...
