With deepest sympathy to Jeff, Joe, John, Kristen, Josh and entire family of Mr. John. I
will remember his ready smile and laughter
and someone who had a genuine interest
in others. He never failed to seek me out,
engage in conversation and make one feel most welcome. My sister was blessed to
have married into Mr. John’s family!

So sorry for the loss of this lovely individual. I will think of him when I see the banjo. I imagine that's how John was lead to his love of guitars.
