Sorry for posting late, I'm overseas in Qatar on business, and just saw the patch on FB. I couldn't believe it, just like everyone else. No, I never met John, but I heard plenty of great things about the Friar from Z. We also were friends on FB, even if we were polar opposites politically. I always enjoyed his posts, even if it left me scratching my head thinging "WTF??". My deepest condolences go out to his family and loved ones.
Unfortunately, I can't raise a glass of anything appropriate right now, but will do so when I get back to Thailand next month.
RIP Good Friar and thanks for all you did for this board and the BA.com community.
