I remember trying to convince him to be a moderator for us all those years ago and how his biggest concern was that he felt he wouldn't be able to offer anything useful or be of any assistance to anyone. He told me
"" Im just a regular guy and my modeling skills are nothing compared to everyone else here, how am I gonna' be able to assist anyone? Everybody here is so talented and awesome... I can't offer them anything ""
Well John... I'd venture to say you were definitely wrong about that, your presence, hobby knowledge and cheerful "do anything to help" attitude is going to be missed. Goodbye my friend, I'll always hold you in my thoughts.

Especially for me. We had so much in common. His absence is really going to be felt in the Stomping Grounds and Jukebox. He was very active in both, which don't see a lot of traffic.
But he will be missed elsewhere too. He was always helpful and informative. Tried to get along with everyone. Ignored most of the bullcrap that comes with being a moderator here and just did the job. That quote from Mark is classic John. Very humble and unassuming.
Things will not be the same without him.
I am so lucky to have met John, and will miss him terribly now that he is gone.
