John was a really sweet man who forever smiled at all he encountered. It was a pleasure and privilege to know him and his lovely wife, Elvira. We worked together on many Opera productions from the early times through its progress to a fine company, an asset to Delaware. John always had words of encouragement when his friends had troubles, and was just fun to be around. The world would be a better place if more of us were like John--he was a fine example of an exemplary human being. He will be missed. May he rest in peace. Sincerely, Mary Jo and Erskine Hopkins, Sarasota, FL.
