Having known John all of my life, it is difficult to put the memories in this box. He's the guy at the kitchen table staring into space thinking God knows what. Then suddenly goining the conversation with observations that make you stop and think. The world has lost a worthy, complex, and loving (in his way) soul. Keep the music alive John.

The world lost one of the good ones on Monday morning. It's not often you come across someone who can leave such an impact on your life in a very short period of time. That was John. I'll cherish the long winded conversations and the energy he brought to every show he/we were at. May the four winds blow you safely home Brother....

Mary,
I cannot tell you how deeply saddened I feel about John's passing. When Alyssa Hardy told me of the news at school on Tuesday I was absolutely stunned. John and you have always held a special and longlasting place in my heart, and I feel as I have lost a part of me now that John is gone. My memories of the "good old days" will never fade and will give me a warm feeling inside, and bring a smile to my face. John was more than just a friend to me; I always looked to him as a mentor and the older brother I never had.
Please accept our condolences. We look forward to sharing memories with you at the upcoming memorial gathering.
Love,
Kay and Steve

We'll always remember John's enthusiastic laughter when he loved what was being performed on stage, his many candid photos, and the joy he took in listening to music. May he now be listening to all those songs in peace.

John was in my life for a very short time, but he left quite a mark on me. One of the best memories I have of John is a recent one. This past Christmas we got to spend a few hours with him and Mary. Although John was not yet my father-in-law he treated me like I was one of his own. He treated my kids the same. Alex and Emily opened their gifts and with joyful laughter they ran to him, hugged him and screamed, "Thanks Grandpa!" It was the first time I ever saw John smile and it was the greatest smile I'd seen in a long time. He was so happy to make the kids happy and although he never said much to us, I know deep in my heart that he loved us. May your soul keep that smile as you watch over us in heaven. Love you, Dad.

Mary-I was so sorry to hear the news about John. He sounds like he was a great guy. Seems like only yesterday we saw the 2 of you at the coffeehouse in Oxford (was the singer Ronny Cox?). Our thoughts are with you. Love, Burt And Judy Whiteman

I graduated with John from MUCS in 1967. He was one smart guy, sometimes quiet, sometimes not, but you could see that he was always thinking. If you were lucky, or maybe unlucky, you could here him singing "The Duke Of Earl" as he meandered down the hallway. Even though our class has gone our own way as all classes do, I'm sure John will always be remembered by them. God Bess John and all of his family and friends.

We first met John through the Chenango County Green Party. We appreciated his opinions and information. Then, our father, Karl Bernhard, went into the Veterans Home and is on Maple Cottage where John worked. The esteem that John had from Karl is the story I want to tell. Karl has almost no short term memory. A few months ago Karl was insisting that the Vets Home had not been feeding him meals. We asked John if Karl had been getting his meals and he said yes. Karl immediately accepted that as truth because John said it. Karl and all of us will miss John very much.

John and Mary were wonderful supporters of local music. We often saw them out watching bands from the community. He sat quietly but so enjoyed the mucic.

Dear Mary,
I want to let you know how sorry I am for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
I did not know John well, I remember when he first started working at the Vets Home on Maple Cottage, a tall quiet guy on the move taking care of his residents. I know he will be missed.
Take Care of yourself,
Kim

Hi,
I never met John, but I did have a brief corresondence with his father Art, before he passed way. John's father Art was first cousin to my mother, Marion Brown Sullivan, of Greene, NY. John's grandfather Twitchell was half-brother to my grandmother Anna Twitchell Brown.
My mother informed me of John's passing yesterday, 05/16/10, during a chance phone call.
It is so sad to hear of the loss of one so young, and so quickly. My sympathy goes to John's wife, and children, my cousins.
Best wishes,
Grant W. Sullivan, Jr.
Manchester, NH
