  1. I had the great good fortune to have worked with John. Along with my late brother Todd – who shared John’s passion for photography – we shared many good times and laughs. John was a hail fellow well met.

  2. I met John when he was organizing the “One Day in Beacon” show, which was a whole lot of fun to participate in and brought a lot of people together, all thanks to John’s dedication to photography and to Beacon. There’s a nice interview with John here.

    Sincere condolences to his family, who kindly shared John and his many hours of time volunteering to better the lives of the rest of us.

  3. My life and John’s crossed paths twice; the first time we didn’t know it. In 1974 the Poughkeepsie railroad bridge caught fire. I was fighting the fire from the west shore while John was taking photographs from the east side of the Hudson. Thirty-five years later while organizing an event to remember the firefighters who were on the bridge in 1974, for the opening of Walkway Over the Hudson, John contacted me and shared his photos. Soon we were exchanging emails and John was inviting me and my wife to stay with him and his family the weekend the bridge reopened. That was John: warm, gracious and wonderful to know. Our thoughts are with his wife and daughter.

  4. I met John at the “Conversations about Photography,” organized by the Center for Railroad Photography and Arts, which took place in Lake Forest, Illinois. He was a great railroad photographer.

    John: I will never forget the wonderful time we shared talking about railroads. I wish you could have come to Europe again. We looked forward to a trip to Hof/Germany – it wasn’t to be. The two pictures you gave me, the one of the fireman climbing down engine #38 and other with the water overcrowding out of the tender of the engine in Hof, will always remember you. Farewell, my friend.

    My thoughts are with his family.
