He really had a knack for remembering people he only met once or twice. And always had made you feel like one of the crew, no matter how long he knew you. And talk about generous>>> sometimes I think he gave away more plugs than he sold. Every time I saw him he would give me something to 'try out.' Then I remember the time in the parking lot of the old clubhouse I think I was with TT, and he kept giving us wood to turn. And then he reached into a box and started giving us handfuls of these old gibs style popper bodies he used to make.
What a guy. I feel lucky to have know him.
RIP John.
