I still have a hard time with this. John and I were friends for a long time.

Dammit! I just found out you have left us permanently. And it's been over a year! What happened my brother? We were not ready to lose you and you leaving us so soon is so unfair. You will be sorely missed John. Your talent was unmistakable and I learned a lot from you. Those jam sessions we had through the years I will hold dear to my heart forever. Rest in Peace my dear friend. I love you. Man... the finality of this is heart wrenching.

John was a devoted brother to me, his sister. Although I live in another state, we always communicated often .His presence in my life made me feel secure & loved.

John was a sweetheart of a guy. He was friendly to everyone, and a big help on a sometimes confusing workday. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.
