***********"THIS IS NOT A NEW THREAD"**************

This was John`s first post.He was only on just over a year.Seemed longer,didn`t it?I suggest folks go check his threads started by going to the members list 2nd page of "E".It`s a good way to recall the man and get through any sudden impact feelings running through you.
He was a good one...

Hey John,welcome and so long,we`ll miss you buddy.

special-K, great tribute to such a great guy! A few months ago I lost my best friend, and as crazy as it seems, with the loss of ESLL (John) I feel just as bad. This board can break ties and all boundaries, and pull together all different types of people. John always had helpful tips when I had a chance to exchange pm's with him, and was always willing to go above and beyond to help me understand.

God bless John and his family/friends during this difficult time; our thoughts and prayers are with them as well.

May he live through our memories, and every time we turn the key!

Feel free to post a message to our passed brother here.I just didn`t realize how guys automatically posted without viewing the content of at least the prior post.This has become a tribute page until a proper memorial can be organized.
John was a member who communicated more in private message than in threads.Apparently he spent alot of time in PM chatting and giving advise.More than we ever would have known if guys hadn`t mentioned it once he passed.That shows the level of class John had.Rather than drive his post count up,he prefered to directly address the individual without needing acknowledgement of others.He also kept his responses to negative comments private and from what I understand could let a guy have it when warranted

.Hey,he was one of our elders and respect is due to them.
