Thanks for the kind posting, Srajan.

I got the news from Chip Stern yesterday a.m., right after John had passed away. We were all shocked at the news, though not surprised. John had kept the PFO clan aware of the initial cancer diagnosis, and of the progress of the very aggressive treatment that was used to try to save his life. He was optimistic, though, and expected to overcome his disease.

Through it all, John showed humor, courage, and a fighting spirit. To have lost such a talented writer and reviewer at such a young age...John was only 49...is a real tragedy. That he leaves behind a wife and two daughters simply compounds the sorrow.

We loved working with John here at PFO, and salute the passing of a member of our community.

I shall miss him.
