Condolences to John's family. He was quite helpful to a newbie like myself and I never found him rough but rather more like 'Do you need me to hit you upside the mellon with a smart stick?" twisted humour kind of person. I appreciated his sense of humour and I hope that his family, although grieving, will take the time to just remember who he really was and what he really would have wanted. I'm sad today because a wonderful person is gone but also happy that I had the chance to know him before see more he did. x
