Dear Mary Jane and family- I am sorry to learn of John,s passing.My memories go back may years as far as the 40's when I visited the Arpin home to teach John in his early grades.What a bright student he was!I have followed his brilliant career throughout his life and attended many of his performances.John always greeted me as a friend-I shall greatly miss that.I had the privilege of meeting you at a concert at Brooklea. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Sincerely, Catherine Richardson
