Sleipnir,
Thank you for letting us know of John's passing.
Isn't it amazing that we could all grow so fond of this great man whom few of us ever met in person, but knew him only from the wisdom he shared here in an on-line forum. He guided and counseled me many times, both on-line and over the phone. As many have said here already, John always brought calm and reason to every discussion. He was a brilliant man whom I considered an expert on every topic to which he contributed. I truly love John as a friend and brother, and I will deeply miss his influence and goodness here. Heaven received a fine new citizen last Thursday, and I look forward to meeting him in person one day on the other side.

I've been away from TT for a while (being out of work for a couple of months). T was very saddened at the news that John had passed away. Sleipinir, John, and I met in person for the first time a few years ago in Baton Rouge (a midway point between them and myself).
I will miss his presence.
Requiescant in pace.

Rest in peace, John.
What a loss, for a lot more than just these forums. With just a single posted line he stood out, always. A rare and noble character.

The raw numbers, impressive as they are, don't begin to show the value of his contribution here. He'll be sorely missed.CajunCenturion's Member Profile said:

@Sambones - Nearly 3000 of those posts were ineligible for stars. Had they been, the ratio would have been much higher.
I had many a "debate" with CajunCenturion over the years and my respect for his knowledge and patience is immeasurable. He had high standards and lived up to them.

Jomama46, I hope you don't mind my editing the quote entry in your posting so that it displayed properly. If you want me to change it further, please advise.

Sad news, indeed. Our forums will be diminished with the loss of John's wit and wisdom.
For those who haven't searched further, here is his obituary from what I assume to be the local newspaper.
His was truly a life fully lived.

With business clients like mine, you'd be better off herding cats.
