John Henry Redgate

I met John at a songwriting class with Jack Segal. Two songs he wrote have been important to me since I first heard them: Walking in Circles and Firefly. I just wanted to reach out to him to and reconnect after many years and sadenned to learn that he's died. I've performed Walking in Circles, having learned from the recording. I would love to get the sheet music to Firefly (not sure where my copy of his singing the son is). If this site is still active, please follow up with me. May he...

John was an amazing human being.He performed for the love of the art and not the money.He was a positive enduring spirit who always had a kind word for everyone he met.His smile made you want to smile.We love you and miss you John.From Miles Ballew rec Theraptist and the rest of your friends at Northbridge Healthcare center.

im so shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of such a wonderful man. John had performed for years at my old job at Maefair in Trumbull. He was so amazingly talented and brought joy to EVERYONE he came in contact with. He will surely be missed. Rest in Peace John and my Prayers to the Redgate family.

John was a regular performer who brought much joy to the residents of Northbridge Health Care. We are deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Our deepest condolences to his friends and family. Rest in peace John. We will miss you.

John was one of the nicest "older" kid in the neighborhood...when he was on West Morgan shooting hoops with the older guys, he never teased us younger ones. He was a sweet, talented and special person. Blessings and prayers to the Redgate family.

To the Redgate and Connelly families, our sympathy is extended to you all, especially Russ, Patty, Alicia and spouses. Many happy memories are in the Curry hearts of John on Taft Avenue, and my meeting him again years later at Fairfield University's Quick Center for the Arts (where Mary was a volunteer) and at Atria where he played music for our mom and the residents. He was a great guy. May he rest in peace. Love, Claire, Kevin, Susan, John and Tom.

May God hold you in the palm of His hand, my St Augustine classmate.
My prayers go out to you, Alicia and all your family.

I adored John and will miss him terribly. I wear my Dreamers Dream and Writers Write T-shirts every night to bed. What a dear, warm and wonderful man. SummerSongs was always brighter and more joyous when he was there. His energy, talents and spirt will live onforever.
