I recently learned the sad news that John Gronemeyer passed away earlier this month.

John enjoyed his career in the school band instrument segment of the industry, which included sales positions at CG Conn, King, UMI and Jupiter Band Instruments. John worked for Danny Henkin when many of Henkin’s music companies were sold and became United Musical Instruments in 1985. John worked hard to ensure that the brand names would not suffer in the years that followed the sale of the companies, and in fact it was John who brought a great awareness of the brand to new markets.
