What did John Lennon's wife say when he died?
(Press Release - December 10, 1980)
I told Sean what happened. I showed him the picture of his father on the cover of the paper and explained the situation. I took Sean to the spot where John lay after he was shot. Sean wanted to know why the person shot John if he liked John. I explained that he was probably a confused person. Sean said we should find out if he was confused or if he really had meant to kill John. I said that was up to the court. He asked what court - a tennis court or a basketball court? That's how Sean used to talk to his father. They were buddies. John would have been proud of Sean if he had heard this. Sean cried later. He also said, "Now Daddy is part of God. I guess when you die you become much more bigger because you're part of everything."
I don't have much more to add to Sean's statement. The silent vigil will take place on December 14th at 2p.m. for ten minutes. Our thoughts will be with you.
Love, Yoko and Sean

When did John Lennon become John Winston Ono Lennon?
April 22, 1969, in a brief ceremony on the roof of Apple Corps headquarters, supervised by commissioner Bueno de Mesquita.
Lennon hated his middle name Winston (given to him by his mother in a moment of wartime patriotism, after Winston Churchill) and wanted to drop it, but was told he couldn't under British law. He was allowed to add a new name; he chose Ono to honor his new wife Yoko, and the name was added by deed poll. He told the media "Yoko changed her name for me (when they were married), I've changed mine for her."
From then on, Lennon gave his middle name as Ono when asked, and signed any legal paperwork "John Ono Lennon" or "JOL" (his initials); his subsequent Wedding Album with Yoko Ono, and first single record of 1970 ("Instant Karma!" b/w "Who Has Seen The Wind?") were credited to "John Ono Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon".
After winning his US immigration case (clearing the way for him to receive his long-desired "green card"), his Resident Alien registration was issued to "John Winston Ono Lennon"; the only time he used his full legal name after 1969.
