John was one of those rare, free spirited, and creative individuals that one meets seldom in a lifetime. He thought us how to think out of the box.He was a people person. It was my privilege to have him as a colleague at MCC for so many years. John, you will be sadly missed.

So sorry for your loss! My own artwork was greatly influenced by John's teaching. He will be greatly missed by me and also by my husband, Warren, who hugely enjoyed his company.
