In Memory: John Lee Hooker
August 22, 1917 - June 21, 2001
Aside from John Lee being one of the world's greatest musical legends, he was one of the kindest people I've ever known. Generous and caring, with an extraordinary sense of humor, John Lee would make anyone in his presence feel comfortable, and if someone was in need, he was there with a helping hand or offering a room to sleep in. There were no airs about him. He was a deep thinker and "real" person with gifts far beyond his musical talents. Not a day goes by that I don't remember some funny expression he had or story he told. His memory always brings a smile to my face. For all of us whose lives you've touched, John we miss you so.
