A friend just called me to let me know. John taught me a lot about guns. I will miss him a great deal. I'll post more info as I find stuff out.

John was a gentleman and a doublegun scholar. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Always found John to be a gracious, kind & insightful person, oft introspective; numerous conversations in times past, spectrum of subjects well outside the norms of public banter; none recently and I genuinely regret that. I consider him one of the original good guys here and he was most assuredly that.
God speed, my friend.

I am saddened beyond words to hear of this. John gave generously of himself, on the board and off, to others, His passing diminishes this board and the lives of all who knew him.
I would think no finer tribute could be paid him than to run his April Fool joke thread about Shep and his found guns. If anyone has it seeing it again would bring back many memories of this wonderful man and his brilliant sense of humor.
I pray God has welcomed him home, his suffering has ended and he's at peace.

One of the few guys on this board that I have spoken with personally, and a wonderful gentleman. I have missed his posts and will miss his presence on the board. May God bless him and his family.

I have fond memories of Mr. Mann. He tried to nix me from ole' board couple of times for bad behavior. He was good ole' Catholic boy from South Carolina. May his soul rest in peace. Great guy all way around I will surely miss him.

According to the 'user list' he hasn't been on the forum since early Spring. He was one of our Best and his participation has been and will be from here on sorely missed. God Speed, Sir...Geo

A most distinguished gentleman and often the voice of reason. May he find lots of mint Lindners where he's headed.
