Well, I just stumbled upon John's obituary (1/25/2025). I felt sadness and sorrow upon learning of his passing. I had the privilege of playing with John in the LSU Tiger Band from 1968-1972. He was a great guy and a fine musician. He was always a pleasure to be around. I know his wife and family miss him greatly!

A good friend and airman loved to be with him and talking airplanes rest in peace John.
John will be missed by everyone. I played in Brass mammoth with John and was so grateful that he gave me a chance to enjoy playing with this group. It was one of the most pleasant memories of my life. Thank you John for being such a wonderful friend and musical colleague!

Jan, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers for you and your family during this difficult time.
I am sorry for your loss: Ecclesiastes 3:11-12 helps us to see that even though death is unnatural – because God ‘has even put eternity in our heart…’ it is comforting to know that we can rely on Almighty God, who has made everything beautiful to again make everything beautiful: So ‘there is nothing better for man than to rejoice and to do good in this lifetime’; then await resurrection on the new earth – Revelation 21:1, 4. Celebrate John’s well lived life.
Jan there are no adequate words to express the sadness we feel about John’s death. ” A great soul serves everyone all the time. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again. ” (Maya Angelou). All our love and deepest sympathy.
Boody, we already miss you and send prayers of comfort to your family. You are our hero for all you did on this earth for others. May you rest in peace and visit with those who left before you. We know we will see you again someday and when we do the celebration of your life will continue.
God Bless you and your Family,
