John was a co-worker with my husband, Gary Anderson at RCA from 1973 up until John and his wife (I can´t remember her name) moved to Arkansas. Gary was born in Scotland, Arkansas but his parents had moved to Indiana when Gary was 3 years old. He thought it was great for John and (J--, I know her name started with a J) moved to Arkansas. Gary really liked John, he was a good guy Gary always said. Gary passed away January 27, 2022 but I know Gary would want me to say a kind word about John and to say a prayer for the family and friends he leaves behind.
