I am sorry to hear about John's death.
I met John back in the 1980's through the the local music scene. He played with some other friends of mine.
John was more than just another cool dude that played the drums, he had heart.
We weren't close friends, but being a drummer myself had made another type of comradely.
The last I saw John was in 2002. I watched Jeepers Creepers at his house.
I am curious what the cause of death was.
