This has been a sad and shocking day for many of us, as Gary has written so eloquently. My friendship with John spanned 24 years, and I have so many fond memories of Grayland DXpeditions and other get-togethers with him. So much of what I've learned about the finer points of DXing techniques, propagation, radio modding, etc. was a result of John's free and enthusiastic sharing of his knowledge.
John's leaving us so suddenly has impacted my whole family. We spent many wonderful summer weekends over the years visiting John and Linda at their Orcas Island property, or hosting them at our Puyallup home during their travels between Washington and Oklahoma. Like Gary I'm still in shock over this news. Please remember John's wife Linda and daughter Mary Ellen and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
