I was shocked to hear this terrible news. I, like many of us here, only knew John from our interactions on this site. He was indeed the lifeblood of this worldwide community. Having been active here for the past 6 years, I can say that I considered John a friend, even though I never shook his hand. The number of people he has affected here, and in his personal life, is a testament to the spirit of the man. I don't know what the future holds for this site, I can only hope that it continues as the place that we all love to visit, the place that FriarJohn helped make so great. My deepest sympathies go out to John's family and close friends, here, and around the world. RIP FJ.
