Dear John,
I'm pretty sure you can't read this, heck I'm sure you can't read this. But I feel like it needs to be said, and I won't feel good til it gets out. I would call you one of the best, but that's an insult, you were a kind all your own. You welcomed new people, and you had no excuse doing it, and unlike other famous people that have visited these forums, or other forums I've been to, you would respond to anyone and everyone, and you would go out of your way to talk to someone, because that's the kind of guy you were. When I were fairly new, you'd talk to me, and I couldn't believe that I was talking to you, I mean YOU are a legend, you're up there with the best.
It's shocking to believe you're gone, just vanished over night. We all had hope you'd pull through. This makes me scared. Why? Because if someone with as strong of a will and as good of a heart as you can't pull through, then what's keeping me? But you fought your disease, you fought it to the end, and you didn't let it get in the way of everything you've done. Everything you've done for your profession, your family, and for us. But I did say family didn't I? I felt like family, maybe not as much as RD, or other people here, but I felt like the cousin who could come at any time and get a friendly hello. And now I have trouble refusing you're gone, I know you are, but you're still around. Your spirit, your willingness still inhabits everyone you touch.
The trimmers are starting in heaven now.
Your fan and friend,
Sam.
