John passed away yesterday. He was a staple at SC HTF meetups and stuff. He also cared for his ailing parents. Thankfully other arfcommers closer to him are helping his family.

He was a good dude. I saw him often and got emails from him about local stuff all the time. He was locally known for taking his brown dog all over town. The local Hardware/Gun store always had a milk bone for her.
