Rare Blend was such a great group! John was the straight man, and they made great music. We were at the old Royal Knight at the time. We would stop in to see Rare Blend whenever we had the chance. Later I had the pleasure of working with John at the Seneca Niagara Casino. John was so talented, and truly a nice man. We will miss him as well as all the good times. Those were the days, my friend...

So sorry to hear of John's passing. My prayers go out to his family.
Working with John was always a pleasure. His sense of humor making a job so much easier.
I'm sure he's with all the other band members who have passed and having a jam session. RIP John.
Sincerely,
Marilyn Mann

Just got back from a lovely service for John. I learned so much about him that I did not know in the 20+ years I worked with him at TJ. After he left TJ, I always missed his "serenades" to me when I would leave for the day. He will truly be missed. Keep on singing, Johnny T!

Daddy,
There are no words to describe how much I miss you. You fought harder than anyone I have ever known and you did it for your kids and grandkids. Although we knew this day was coming I still wasn't prepared. I want to hug you and tell you I love you one more time. The only thing getting me through is knowing you don't have to fight for us anymore. You are out of pain and can breathe deeply. Every day you said you felt strong and now you truly are.
I love you with all of my heart.
Your #1 Girl, Diina
