I am deeply touched by your beautiful, heartfelt responses to John's illness and passing. During his last weeks, I read aloud to him your touching stories and get well messages, sent from all over the world to cheer him on. Over and over again, each and every day, your words brought a glorious smile to his face, and tears to my eyes to see it! Then the amazing tributes poured in like great waves of love. Words simply don't express my gratitude to you for reaching out to John, myself, the family, Ann, Joy, and Polly. Please know that the time you took to do that brought us great comfort and support. Love works!

John was an absolutely unique and stunning treasure of a man, in private and in public. A lovely, lovely true gentleman...

John was the founder member of the group and lead singer in the early days. He was also a fantastic guitarist which a lot of people didn't realise. He was a compassionate song-writer and a gentleman with lots of style.

The three of us had the most incredible adventure together, all the time not realising that we were part of pop history in the making. His music will live on, and therefore so will John.

T-birds and Bentleys.

He always looked and behaved the true star he was, and was ever the consummate professional, always having time for his fans.
One of the good guys. It was a privilege for The Dakotas to have known him as a musician, singer and friend.

All our love to Cynthia and his family. He will be sadly missed.

"When he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun."

-Shakespeare "Romeo and Juliet"

John was so much more than just a "Walker Brother". He was a true gentleman, a pioneer of the LA and London music scenes, a great singer, performer, composer, and musician, and a true friend.

It has been my pleasure to know him and work with him for the last year, and my heart goes out to his wife, Cynthia, who loved him very much, and with whom he was deeply in love.

I am honored that John was fascinated with my use of the touch-guitar, and saw the unique possibilities of the instrument. He was a pioneer to the end....

I was only closely acquainted with John Walker and his lovely wife Cynthia
for the past couple of years, working as John's UK agent and liaising with
manager Cynthia.

John played a massive part in the music of the sixties and will be missed
greatly.

John was a very gentle and lovely man both my wife Anne and I will miss him.
Our sympathy goes to his devoted wife Cynthia.

The sun aint gonna shine anymore as John walks through Heaven's door.
Love & Rock 'N Roll forever x.
