NO! This can't be happening!!! My computer access was down for most on this morning, and now I've just got it back and the first thing I discover is THIS!!!!
I'm in shock! There's no other way to put it.
John was THE life's breath of this website. BUT, even more importantly, over the many years of our mutual association and participation at this website, John became a very valued friend.
I'm sorry, but at this time that is all I can say. I'll have other things to say about John after I get over the initial shock of this sad sad news.
