I have good memories of John. When Texas Instruments introduced Digital Cinema early in this decade at ShoWest convention ( now obsolete 1.3K system ) they used material shot on film, for film and digital, so as to show A/B and split screen presentations on a 35 foot + screen. He was in the trenches getting the 35mm projection set up and had everything signed off when at the last minute the Kodak "marketing" department ( the evening prior to the event ) order that the film print be replaced with the then new Vision stock. His rant fell on deaf ears since the existing negative stock was a perfect in timing / contrast vs the Vision print. He wanted a fair evaluation....not a hyped up one.

 

The last time we saw each other a couple years prior to his death as we shared car rides at another convention. Conversations always a good give and take.

 

He was a great magician....always ready to show you how to pull that rabbit out of the hat....with enough tricks up his sleeve to keep it interesting....

It's still terribly sad to this day.
