"I admired him greatly. What started out [in 2007] as a simple interview regarding his work, had turned into a great friendship. After a while, he confided in many personal things about life in general, but most often our conversations steered toward literary history and modern publishing. John loved words more than anything and I will miss sitting across from him as he framed his stories effortlessly. Classical music gently played on the radio next to him and I often mistook the music as a soundtrack to his stories." - Gary Demers, Founder, Notable Press
