I saw the Sad news of John’s passing online today. Grow%ing up in Brevard from age 12yrs thru seem like my entire teen years I anxiously waited Every Night he was on air at WPNF. He brought Rock n’ Roll to tiny Brevard. I Remember his marvelous Voice, even today. He was part of my Youth and will ALWAYS remain such. So Sad For Your Loss.
