I had some good times with John when he lived in Vancouver. We met at the Jazz Club, the Classical Joint. This is a late comment, I was just thinking about him and thought to look him up. I was very sad to learn that such a fun person had passed away so young. John was such a good dancer and had an amazing sense of humour. - Posted by: Elise Roberts (Old Friend) on: Jun 24, 2015
