Bruce Oblinger wrote a sympathy message

“John and I would room together on the road in a band called Variety Street. As a bass player and a drummer we connected instantly. It was amazing to watch him play the bass line to the song Steppin Out. I will miss his talent, his humor, and his kindness. RIP my friend 🧡”

Frank Pietrantoni wrote a sympathy message

“I am so saddened to hear this. I had the pleasure of playing with John for a number of years in Bit-n-Pieces, LipStiiks, and on original songs/music. This past couple of years John and I would talk after each Husker Football game and reminisce of our playing days and days when our Huskers played much better! I will cherish the memories of all the great times we had playing together. John, may your body rest while your spirit soars!!”
