John was a kind man that enjoyed helping people and giving the gift of guitar! I know of many times he donated or gave a really nice guitar to somebody that was interested in guitar but didn´t have a good one. John was also an amazing musician and specialized in the flamenco finger style of playing. He could dazzle you instantly with his guitar playing. RIP John you will be missed.
