I met John 10 years ago where he played his violin at the Drumm St. BART S.F. station for the public's pleasure. He played from the heart and I will miss him.

I'm so sad to hear the news that John has died. I only met him a few times, but will always remember him as a warm and friendly man and as an exquisite violinist. May you rest in peace, dear John.
