Add my condolences. I too never met John, but Tipsters are like a strange family. It seems that John was well-loved by his family and friends and my thoughts are with them. Carol

It was an odd post to make given the nature of that thread but it appears that Tipster Serafin has in fact died as confirmed by this public obituary: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/obituaries/?mode=view&obit_id=199575 John's last post to TiPS was made on November 19, 2010, about two days before his death. I don't know who submitted the post below nor did I know John outside of TiPS but I thought that a more fitting acknowledge of his passing was necessary. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] On Thu, 25 Nov 2010 05:18:05 -0800, Someone on behalf of John Serafin wrote: >John V.
