In 1992, John Lydick and his father Allen attended the National American Guild of Organists Convention in Atlanta. World-renowned recitalist Hector Olivera was the featured organist. Both Lydick and his father played organ for Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church in Panama City Beach. After Allen Lydick passed away sometime later, John Lydick began a memorial fund in his father's name to replace the church's aging organ.
