September 6, 2020
John was a true "Renaissance Man" in spirit and practice, with his gift and love for music, gardening, and inventing SO MUCH. My memories of John include his sincere interest in what we were up to and his ability to converse on just about anything. Having moved to the "neighborhood" in his later years, we got to be a part of his 80th and 90th birthday celebrations. When we first got to spend time talking, in 2007, I was so impressed that he was still riding a bike and offered to accompany me on a bike path around High Falls. He was a part of every fun family get-together (in our new Maryland digs) of which we were part. John had a loving, kind, engaged and peaceful presence and is sorely missed.
