For many years, those in Cascadia, WA could expect to see John C. Bromet among the crowd at the weekly Peace Vigil in downtown Bellingham. When people honked in solidarity or flashed the peace sign, he'd do a high kick.
Carrying a sign that simply read “PEACE,” the bearded, bereted and beatific Bromet — known to many as “Peace Wizard” — stood out everywhere he went. His trademark sign and jaunty beret drew attention, but he also had a way of engaging with his fellow humans that drew them into conversations about everything from living off the grid (which he did) to music, kindness, universal acceptance and the belief that peace could help heal the world.
Wizard died suddenly Monday, April 3, 2023 at age 83 at his close friend GuruBani Whitney's farmstead near Rockport, the result of a suspected coronary event.
