Truly an awesome man, my fondest memories during my seven years as his pastor and friend is his joy of serving his Lord through song. Truly a man among men, his patience, caring and love embraced Wesleyan UMC in Amherst each Sunday. I will never forget one Sunday before services when John, Kenny Schaar and myself broke out in a spontaneous rendition of "Man of Constant Sorrows" we were just kidding around, a few minutes later the congregation made us sing it all as a special. John was the only featured artist I would have in my devotional time on WAMV radio. His songs would inspire my message to move lives. I will miss my brother John greatly. Ellen and my love go out to his entire family. Love always Dave and Ellen Edinger
