John Stone, A Short Reminiscence

I knew John Stone when we were both in our late 20's. He referred to himself as Jack much of the time then, to differentiate himself from his father. His dad owned a magic shop and I often wondered what life would have been like growing up with a magician.

Jack frequented a bar where I worked for a couple of years, while finishing my degree at SMS-MSU. He usually began the conversation with a proposition, which I never took seriously. On a slow night we would smoke some menthol cigarettes and talk about every subject under the sun.

I lost touch with him after I left the bar job, but remember him with fondness.

After I discovered his blog, it often was the highlight of my day. RIP John Stone, you will be missed
