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.
