HTHM Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 I am deeply saddened by this news. John was a man who was willing to share his wisdom and experiences freely, regardless of the individuals worthiness. I am going to miss him, he was a great friend and a great person to spend time with.
The Urban Fisherman Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 I wish I had known!!! My dear friend John offered me a gift for the fish-a-thon only a few weeks ago and didn't even tell me. I'm going to miss you friend!!! Much Love from Ginny, the kids and I! Our last fish caught together... A memory and story I will tell for years! Ryan

splashhopper Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 Stunned. I had the opportunity to fish with him twice and had numerous emails back and forth about different subjects. He was always thoughtful and precise with his responses. His obituary notice just shows even more of the depth of that man. I will miss him .
ChrisK Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 My god this is sad news. I was just talking with him a little while ago about helping him get started into fly tying.
