Real name: John Buehler

9/21/36 - 10/14/23

From his obituary: John had a passion for music. He learned to play the accordion as a youth, playing at dances and weddings with his father who played the fiddle. An interest in advancing his musical skills led John to learn the keyboard and then the organ. Eventually his father's band became John's under the motto, "Have organ, will travel". He attended St Gregory's Seminary for high school where he took an interest in liturgical music, which later became his life's work. He continued his studies at the University of Dayton, graduating with a degree in Music Education in 1960. He was the church organist for his home parish Sacred Heart in McCartyville as well as St. Patrick's. He later became the organist for Immaculate Conception Church and Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Dayton. From 2007 to 2023 John was the music director for the Sisters of the Precious Blood. In the 1960's John served on the Cincinnati Archdiocesan Board of Liturgical Music.
