John Marshall Gleason

Johnny Was a Great friend not just to me but also my parents too

John could always bring a smile to our faces. He could always be depended on to have an opinion on anything we might be discussing. But mostly he was just always there when you needed him, never expecting anything in return. I loved when he would show up with one of his horns and play for us. Many years he would be there at Bird´s grave paying his respects. He was a sweet soul, and had that infectious laugh that would make me laugh when he would throw his head back and let it go. We loved him...

John was a great friend and an incredible musician. He was a brother to me.

I knew John in college. He was an amazing musician. I am saddened to hear of his passing. He was a good man and will be missed.

I was so sorry to hear of John´s passing. My deepest sympathies to The Gleason family.

I loved John. I just went to try to find him online and found out about this. It hit me hard. He was so good to me, he was a good friend.
