So very sorry to hear of this loss. John was one of the first people to welcome me to this site and an extremely good man. We talked a few times behind the scenes and what a joy it was to absorb his knowledge. May he be at peace now. Thanks for everything John.
Very sorry to hear the news. Sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

Apart from buying a few things from him over the years, I didn’t really know John. But he seemed kind, honest and generous with his knowledge. My condolences to his family, and his friends here who knew him and will miss him.

Its rare for me to feel a sense of loss for anyone I never met or spoke too. But John is a rare exception. Seeing him on stephenkingcollector forums gave me courage to join this site.
To add to the above comment, not only did I never see John make a hostile or negative comment, but I never saw anyone direct a negative comment his way, which says a lot about how much he was respected.Originally Posted by Randall Flagg

Returned from vacation to this very sad newsI last spoke with John on November 11 via PM asking him for some info to add to the thread honoring this collection. John advised he wasn't feeling well and would get back with me. Sadly, that day never came and we all lost a great, maybe the best, member of this community. John was the one would brought me to TDT via the CD forums. R.I.P, my friend. May the memory of you never be forgotten here in our small, little corner of world.
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
John and I corresponded privately over the years. He was one of my true online friends and will be sorely missed.
John, you may be gone but never forgotten. You will always be in my heart and memories. RIP my friend.

"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Awe man. This SUCKS.Today would have been John's 76th Birthday.
