Not been on the site since the end of May. When I first saw the thread I thought it was a joke that I had missed. When I opened it up, well what can you say. Living downunder I never met John, however I did talk by PM on a few occasions. He will be sadly missed around the site for his wit and ways he had with dealing with certain people. (Didn't mention your name Dwight)
All I can give is my best condolences to his family and friends.
RIP John(Friar)
