Thanks for all the beautiful messages posted in memory of John. He was a man full of passion. He always told me he was born from passion. He had it to the very end.

i'd give anything to attend the service for this incredibly special man but it's just not possible for me given that it will take place 3,000 miles away. i will also be there in spirit and hope many of my nyc friends are able to make it. john stubblefield will always be remembered and praised for the unique, beautiful, talented man he was. and i'm constantly listening to his most recent musical effort, "I Am Three"!
