wil50n Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 His name came to me today, and I checked some old posts. I never met him - I'm on the other side of the world - but I miss his words. It's 4 years since he passed. Raise your glasses for him. Quote
edgar_allan_poe Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Damn...4 years already? Jeezus, it seems like only yesterday that we were hanging out with JeffR, Cajunboy, Greg, and countless others at BCR after a jam session with Nightwolf. Still to this day one of them most fun nights I have ever been a part of. Quote
stonge Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 John was a great guy who really meant a lot to so many of us. Some of my best memories are from jamming with him in Al's backyard. He always made folks feel welcome, and encouraged everyone to get up and play (I still remember the look on his face when EvanD lit up the jam). His Daytona always makes it to Ceeb's jam each year for everyone to play in his memory. Quote
LittleC Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 I had the pleasure to meet John (and his lovely wife) a couple times and play with him as well. Fun, kind, honest, good guy and a damn good musician as well.Nothing but good . . . Quote
cmatthes Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Same here. I got to share a stage and the occasional jam with him over the years. He was always accommodating and as Stonge mentioned, John welcomed everybody to sit in with him. I don't even remember the first time I met him and Coletta, but it was in the earlier days of the HFC. Can't believe it's been 4 years already - I found one of his mailed newsletters not too long ago and remember chatting about Firebirds in some depth with him.As I'm reminded of doubly today, life is way too short. Enjoy it, and play often. I think John would have said something similar... Quote
blackfbiv Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) He certainly was happy to oblige when it came to communicating on the internet. He was passionate about his music and the 'virtual airline' he ran.IIRC, using Microsoft Flight Sim and some sort of server network (???)... he did some bush piloting up the the far noth of Canada/Alaska. He flew a Twin Otter(maybe it was a pontoon equipped Beaver) if memory serves. Damdest thing I ever heard of.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_airlineSleep well John...

HamerHokie Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Always appreciated his efforts to set up the east coast jams. He's really missed here. RIP. Quote

DavidE Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) Too many lost HFC members (in one way or another) in these photos. Edited June 17, 2010 by DavidE 1 Quote
RecRm Rocker Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 a few of the jams with Nightwolf....Miss ya John POE I believe this is the Jam you were referring to SouthWest Grill.... Quote
Jeff R Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 POE I believe this is the Jam you were referring to Yep, that was the one. John was a really special person. I felt it on the board and in e-mails we exchanged over the years, but I knew it in my heart when I finally met him in person. I remember we'd finish a song at that jam and he'd look and me and Cajun Boy, heck, all of us on stage and in the audience, with the most genuine, happy smile. I miss him. Quote
ArnieZ Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Nightwolf was a good man. Had many great conversations and I hope he is at peace!ArnieZ Quote
