..........I met John 30 yrs ago at High on Rose....he later on worked many yrs at High on Rose and had a down to earth folksy wisdom that I will miss dearly....his 20 yrs as a cab driver in Lexington gave him a perspective of Lexington and KY at large that was right in line with KY folklore understanding.....God Bless you my friend and may your spirit soar....

I video taped his service in Junction City the other day.

He brought me a bunch of flower bulbs twenty years ago, I saw the bearded Iris blooming yesterday and thought of him.
My wife and I met working there with John and our old gang.
I first met John at 'His House' in Campbellsville in '70 or '71.
