Rick and Mary Thomson
Mary and Rick Thomson send there most heartfelt condolences on the passing of John. My father, Stan Thomson worked with John at the Pompeii Court many years ago. My father had great respect for John as a fellow pianist When John was about to end his set, he would start the first lines of "As Time Goes By" then my Dad would take over in the Piano Bar, and so on. When my Mom first met my Dad he was playing the same song, in the Laurentian Mountains, where they were married. When my father passed away eight years ago, John was one of the first to contact my Mom, she will never forget the kindness that John showed. I saw John at a show in Vancouver several years ago, I would consider him one of the greatest musician Canada has ever produced, he is in heaven with my Dad. BRAVO JOHN, BRAVO.
