Rick, thanks for conveying this sad news to us. I wish I'd had a chance to visit with John last year when I was in Rohnert Park to see another old friend.
I want to echo the thanks to you for being a good friend to John, especially over these last few weeks. I'm sure John appreciated it.
Rest in peace John, your suffering is at an end. Say hello to John Eargle, Bart Locanthi, Ed May, Bill Thomas, and JBL himself. I trust the music will be heavenly.
