From November 2010, his response to an email of mine.
Thanks Robert, sorry I am a bit late replying. I live in Bonaire (Warner Robins area), I am doing pretty well now. I hope you are coping well considering your tragic loss. It pained me to read your threads on your wife, as cancer patient I am well aware of the horrors of Colon cancer, many of my friends have passed from it, one of whom was young like your wife. You have my deepest sympathies, I hope the future for you and your child are bright and full of happiness. John This man was going through an enormous battle of his own and still showed grace, character and humanity. The best are always taken too soon. Rest in Peace, John. |

I didn't have the honor of knowing him in person but remember seeing many good posts from him. Prayers sent for his family. |
Livin' life like a video, where the champagne's always cold, and the music's always good,
And the pretty girls just happen to stop by in the hood...
So when the director yells cut, I'll be fine.
I'm forever young.

That's an example to which we should all adhere to in our turn. yup. i remember seeing his posts about fighting cancer in other cancer threads and would have never guessed that his own was that bad. |

I never knew John Mattis as a person but I remember the posts of eodtech2000 here. I would sum up those posts like many others have done - intelligent, compassionate, interesting..... R.I.P. John Mattis / eodtech2000, you will be missed. |
