I loved going into the Bop Stop, it was like stepping into a wizard´s den. Seems like I would go in to get a record and 3 hours would fly by... When I was getting ready to move out west, I took my record collection in and traded the entire collection to John for a copy of "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road". I am going to listen to that CD and remember you John. Thanks for everything John. Rest in Peace.

One of a kind. I'm glad we were friends (over 40 years) because there was never a dull moment with John. Ton's of laughs and stories. He will be missed.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw Johns name. We went to Portage Northern HS. He graduated in 1973 and myself '74. We were in some of the same classes. Back then I really didn't care what I wore to school. One day he asked me why did I ware the same thing all the time. Jeans, jeans and jeans. I still remember that to this day. RIP John.
