John Firmin

John and I hadn't been in touch for quite a while and so I am late in learning of his passing. So sorry for your loss, Linda and Jake! Sorry for all of us that we have lost the extraordinary sound John could make with his sax. RIP, Johnny N!

I played in the West High School Band with John and with "The Pastels"; a small band of West High Band members. We had some fun together traveling and playing the music we loved. John was a great friend forever.

I will always remember you John and I thank you for sharing your thoughts and memories with me through our years.

John and I were members of the West Anchorage band and the "Pastels" ( a dance band we played in also. I also exchanged emails with John for some years before Covid entered our world. I've been wondering about John. I will miss trading thoughts with him.

The Firmin family lived across the street from my family and I enjoyed their friendship as a neighbor and classmate. So fun to reconnect with him at our 5Oth class reunion. May He Rest In Peace.

I had the privilege of musical adventures with John in Anchorage. What a great mentor and memories! Condolences to all who will miss him.

He was one of my oldest friends, and my musical mentor. I will miss him everyday. John Firmin and I were friends for 57 years. May he rest in peace!

John was a good friend. We started talking about Jazz in the 80s at my store Record Finder, and continued our talks for many years. He and Jake were always welcome at our monthly Jazz listening club, even though his health kept him away. He will be missed.
