December 8 Marks the Anniversary of John Lennon's Death

"Help," "Revolution," "A Day In the Life," "Give Peace a Chance," "Imagine."

Just a handful of the hundreds of memorable tunes penned and performed by John Lennon, first with the Beatles and later as a soloist.

The founder of the Quarrymen (original name of the Beatles) was shot and killed by a crazed gunman at 10:50 p.m. on this date 32 years ago, on Dec. 8, 1980.

Patch would like to hear from John Lennon fans - their earliest memories, favorite songs with the Beatles and on his own, feelings about his activism - please share your thoughts in the comments section below. 

R.I.P. John - "Imagine all the people sharing all the world."
