RIP John. I only met him a time or three at the National but enjoyed spending several minutes chatting. Was so impressed the first time that I bought something that I really didn't collect at the time just to throw a little business his way, although he was doing just fine anyway:

Very sorry to hear he left us, and of course, my condolences to family and friends.
