He certainly enriched my life because of the person and great player he was. .
“John Reagan was the best of us. He went out of his way to help people when things were bad. It didn't matter who you were, a prince or a pauper. I know there are many of you out there who knew him. He was friends with everyone, always musically inspiring and one of the funniest people on the planet.
“My thoughts are with his wife Kathy, his children Christopher and Jenness, and his grandchildren.
“I love you my brother you will be missed by so many. Rest in peace.”
