*Inspired lunacy and benign raving, and I’m at a loss to find truer words to honor the legacy of John E Falcone. 12 days ago my father was in a freak cycling accident (we don’t know many details) and today he died from his injuries. Clichés abound but it really has been a shock. It's been amazing to see and hear all the stories of his antics here, many of you I know from my childhood and know you'll all be feeling this loss as well.

It’s going to be strange getting used to a world without him in it, but the stories will live on. Thank you all for continuing to tell his tall tales for him.* Elizabeth Jane Mears

"Hi there just last night I was listening to the radio KNKX blues 6 to midnight. I was thinking about the last time that I saw John. To say that he was looking dapper is a under statement. The occasion was Send them flowers. In honour of John Shepherd, Roy Rhymer and other friends that are on the other side hopefully playing together in a super safe environment. Today I was shocked to hear that John was no longer with us.My thoughts are with the family and friends, Desi"
