"He was the perfect musician and keyboard player. He was talented and had class. He was a good Christian man. He was heavy. He mixed blues, jazz and classical in a way no others ever did. He was the best and no one could ever fill his shoes. He was my mentor and I loved all his work, solo, Deep Purple, Whitesnake etc. He is the only keyboard player that could solo and never bore you. God res Jon Lord's soul." Joe Dell
