I couldn't leave a direct message for Diane Conley on Facebook so I hope that she will see this:

"Diane, I hope that you will see this.

John was one-of-a-kind. No one knows that better than you.

John brought a lot of joy to his countless musician friends internationally through the marvels of the internet and PG Music forums in particular. I was always drawn to read his fabulous wit and knowledge of music combined with his constant willingness to help others. That wit and knowledge will leave a void in the hearts and minds of hundreds of his musician friends around the world. That's all that any of us can hope to accomplish in one lifetime. In that sense, John has conquered the world. I am extremely proud to have known and loved him.
