Thank you so much for all your kind words. I talked to Phil Hill yesterday as well. I wanted to share the following info: My father donated his body to science -- we all hope the medical community will learn more about his cancer this way and be able to help others. There will be a Memorial Mass on: Saturday, August 25th at 12pm St. Jerome's Church, 207 South Garfield St, East Rochester, NY 14445 A Celebration of Life get-together will follow at The Daisy Flower Mill at 1880 Blossom Road in Rochester. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the George Eastman House -- we plan to meet with the Eastman House this upcoming week to try to set up a Memorial Fund in John's name. George Eastman House 900 East Ave Rochester, NY 14607 Museum hours Saturday are 10am-5pm. Donations may also be sent to the Lipson Cancer Center, Linden Oaks Medical Complex, Suite 330, 10 Hagen Dr, Rochester, NY 14626 or St. Jerome's Church (address info a few paragraphs above).  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-19-2007 08:47 AM                     Hi Anne, I'm Very Saddened to hear this news about John. And thank you for the info on the planned Memorial Fund for John. He will be with us every time we step into a projection booth and do the "Film Done Right" guidelines he gave. He gave us all such valued information on how film should look. Which gave millions of people around the world a true entertainment at the movies. My Deepest Condolances to your family at this time. Thanks John for all the help.
