"If he had sung the telephone book you would have felt a sense of joy with it, because he would have sung it joyfully." - Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary "He was a dedicated champion of the environment, spending many hours on the vital work of protecting natural heritage. And he opened many doors to understanding among nations through his tours of the Soviet Union, China and Vietnam." - President Clinton "He was the world's troubadour and a guy who had really dedicated the last part of his life to leave the world a better place than he found it." - Friend Jerry McClain "John was the most visible and popular of all the people who bridged the gap between folk and country music... At the time it was controversial with the old guard in country music, because he was not from the country world. But he sold a ton of records, and was played on country radio constantly, as he should have been." - Country music historian Bob Oermann. "It's a real loss to Colorado and a personal loss for me. I knew him as a friend and a pilot... He was not only a longtime resident of Colorado but our best ambassador in describing what Colorado is, and its vibrant beauty." - Colorado Gov. Roy Romer "He was always trying to push the envelope. Whether it was philosophy or engineering or astronomy or religion, that type of thing always appealed to him." -Former Minnesota Gov. Wendell Anderson, godfather of Denver's son Zachary "He did what he did with a lot of modesty. I would hope this is the kind of thing that takes the cynicism out of how people view things." - Jeff Hanna, member of the former Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, who recorded with Denver "Not only was he a great songwriter and singer, but he was also a very special human being. I will miss his music and his smile." - Country singer and Denver friend Crystal Gayle (Originally published on the Associated Press NewsWire) |
