Owner of Musik Innovations, Jean supported PYCO in many ways: offering the recital hall for weekly rehearsals, cheering all of PYCO's efforts, applauding PYCO's performances, and giving inspiration with his ideas and presence, his friendship and humor.

PYCO and the musical communities of Pittsburgh, the nation and the world will miss him mightly while still receiving the gift of his musical legacy- his teaching, his performance, his championing of musical ability everywhere. He will be sadly missed by all those who love music.

"Blessed are those with the gift of music, for they bring harmony to the world."
