I am Melody's friend and musical collaborator. I had the opportunity to meet her Dad when her parents were visiting her a few yers ago when I came over to rehearse some material with Melody. I was very moved by the warmth and support that both of her parents displayed for Melody and her musical goals. It was later that I learned much more about John's own expertise and dedication to music. I know that I was very fortunate to have met him.

My dad is my light and best friend, I will forever be "daddy's little girl." I thank him for everything and especially his quirky and zany humor!

As many could say they have a favorite uncle, my uncle John is one of the greats. Always having a smile, always engaging, funny and musically talented beyond measure. The generous and caring nature by which he lived his life are values I will remember most. You will be truly missed.
