Our most heartfelt condolences Scott.....your pops has been a long time member here, one of our few from "down under". Always enjoyed his posts, humor, pictures, stories, etc. Jeeeze...was e-mailing back 'n forth w/him just last week for something....had just checked my work e-mail this morning looking for the reply.

Wow...I'm at a loss of words. Thank you for taking the time to pop in here and inform us.

I spoke to him once on for an half hour. He was a joy to speak with. I will regret not ever having the chance to meet him in person.

Dearest Scott

Thank you for letting us know here at speedguide, and my heart goes out to you and your family. He was well loved here at speedguide, and will be sorely missed...there is no question of that.

He shared humor, joy, and his special type of sparkling personality with all of us here, and he will not be forgotten. This may seem like a little thing to you...however he just recently shared something with us that he really enjoyed for breakfast...a ginger marmalade...I was so intrigued by the sound..that I made some myself. It will now always be made in his honor from this point forward.

You are at peace now my friend. You will be so missed.

My condolences to you & your Family Scott.

Croc was a good Friend and we exchanged many an Email, mostly containing a bit of laughter, as John did enjoy a good laugh. This comes as a real shocker to me.

SG will be lessened by his passing.

Thanks so much for informing us of this tragic turn of events and please pass on our heartfelt sorrow to all concerned.

We'll miss you Croc, my Friend.

I'm so sorry to hear that Scott, John was the nicest guy, we PMed each other over some Aussie music groups recently and he was even going to buy the cd and mail it to me. Turns out he didn't need to, but it showed what a great person he was.

My prayers are with you and your family Scott.

Wow......

I'm shocked and saddened at the same time. Croc was one well respected member around here. We certainly appreciate you taking the time to let us all know what's happened to John.

He'll be missed to be sure.

He talked often about your family and things that he was up too.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to you and all your family!

Amen..none better spoken here. Please keep in touch with us Scott and enjoy your Fathers memories here. They are pretty special!! Continure under his name...or make your own account here...either would be welcomed...this is a pretty special group of people!!

My sincerest condolences Scott.

Your Father was an outstanding and respected member of SG. He will be missed.

I still remember the first time I bumped into him in a thread over 3 years ago...

Again, my Condolences, and Best Wishes for you and your family.
