I met John while he was filming Wheeler in Eldorado Arkansas back in 1973-74. I was there for quite a bit of the filming and made friends with a lot of the cast. The memories it left with a 13 yr old kid are still fondly remembered and so was John.

I am so glad I did some justice to him.
The rippling effect of our lives…of what we do, of what we put out into the universe never ceases to amaze me.
I’m so grateful that his work somehow…across time and space…found me. Miraculously.
What he did mattered to me.
His life mattered to me.
And although I never had the pleasure of meeting your Grandfather, he will be missed, but he will never be forgotten.
