I raise a glass in remembrance of our dear friend Friar John who was born on this very day. John touched so many of our lives, and it seems fitting to remember his birthday as a means of paying tribute to a very special guy. And so... Happy Birthday John wherever you are, and thanks for your hand of friendship! You really did make a difference! 
Live to love, love to live.

Well stated, Keith.  Here's to the good Friar!
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

How spooky, I was getting ready for work this morning, when I found myself looking at Johns patch on my vest hanging on the back of the door. I even said "Good morning John". He probably thought "Shaddup retard and get to work"! I'm lifting a JD to him right now.
I'd rather ride it than clean it!!!!

It absolutely isn't the same without John, the board lost some of it's spark.
