Thanks for posting the article Jeff. It tells what so many of us in ham
radio particularly contesters already knew.
I was operating in the 1996 US Islands/Canadian Islands Contest on
Harsen's Island in Lake St. Clair and John answered my CQ with a
greeting as we had worked many times before. I asked if he'd be at
Dayton as I would like to meet him in person. John said no, that he
doesn't care for crowds so doesn't attend Hamvention. Thanks to all the
folks in SECC and others for convincing him to attend. I've enjoyed
seeing John and chatting many years now in Dayton.
The honor and tributes are certainly deserved for a true gentleman.

I've known John since our family moved to Columbus, Ga in 2002. He was very
welcoming to us when we moved here knowing no one. In the years we have lived
here we have become best friends. I always enjoyed our regular Wednesday
lunches to talk contesting. We have enjoyed many fun things together such as
our QSO Party adventures, our yearly PJ4A trip and WRTC in 2006.
I'm blessed to have met a real gentleman in contesting and to have him as a
friend.
