Memories of John are bittersweet... I first worked John on AO-10 in 1999 (from Texas) and met him a year later at an amsat-uk colloquium in 2000. I had worked John from Russia on FO-20 a few months before as R3/K5OE and we exchanged cards at Surrey. I looked forward to meeting up with him every year after that when I could attend the same meeting. I remember one year he was kind enough to give me a ride to Heathrow when we left the colloquium on Sunday.
My sincerest sympathies to his family, and like Dave said earlier, I was privileged to have known John and called him a friend. He will be missed.
