I am so sad to hear the news. I always enjoyed John's advise and input on things on tug.

John & I had spoke personally a few times. He gave inform to me on a Manhattan club closing. I was just speaking to him this past month on possiblily closing a marriott for me.

He was always so kind and giving with advise.

He was a wonderful man. We will truly miss him.



Our hearts and prayers go out to you.

John's posts were always so knowledgeable and full of optimism. Never mean. He had a view of life that we all can benefit from, even now with him leading the way ahead.

I am so sorry to hear about John's passing. He will be missed greatly. His generosity in sharing his knowlege was well known.

I have never met John, but, did communicate with him, asking if someone I had worked with 40 years ago, who had the same name, was related. In his friendly style, he related a story about someone else who had asked the same thing . He made it a point to go and meet the namesake, and said, while not related, would have fit right in with his family. Always pleasant and accommodating. He will be missed.

I am shocked and saddened at John's passing. I have never met him, but learned so much from his posts. My condolences to his family.

 

[Pat H]

Oh, this is such devastating news! I never met John either but when he was living in the Poconos we had emailed about meeting one day for breakfast or lunch but it never happened and now it never will. He was such a knowledgable, kind and sweet man. It is a tremendous loss for us and his family.

My deepest sympathy to Lorelei and their families.

 

[jimf41]

Like many of you I never met John. I feel like I knew him and I liked his posts as they were informative and friendly. I will miss him. I guess the true measure of a man's presence is that so many who never met him are deeply saddened by his passing. I'm pouring a Jameson's as I write.

Lorelei,

Thanks for your beautiful and loving tribute to John. Those are my two favorite Irish prayers and I'm sure they touched his spirit which is still with us.

I was shocked and saddened to learn the news. I learned so much from John's knowledge and sage advice.

I remember once when I corrected him on some misinformation he posted on a Tug thread, he was very gracious and treated his mistake with humor and his
reply made me laugh.

The Tug community will certainly miss John.

My prayers are with you and your family.

It is surprising how strongly we can feel for someone we know only by his written word. I always read John's posts with confidence that the information he gave was "right on". Lorelie,and family, please accept my sincere condolences.

Again from someone who never met John, but enjoyed his posts...He will be missed. All the best to his loved ones.

 

[Dave H]

Wow, what a shock. I like many of you never met him, we used to PM all the time on closings and escrow related topics. He was one of the few that truly understood the dynamics. We used to bat ideas around on how closings should really work and how so many do things wrong.


John, I will miss that private dialog we used to have. Rest in peace my friend.

 

[Karen G]

I'm so very sorry to read of John's passing. I spoke with him on the phone concerning transferring timeshare titles and he was so helpful, giving so generously of his time with nothing expected in return. He was a true gentleman and will be sorely missed here on TUG.

 

[wackymother]

I am stunned. John was the nicest guy, always so warm and reassuring and funny and kind. I will miss him. We will all miss him.

Condolences and prayers to his family.

 

[sstamm]

Like many, I am shocked and saddened to hear of John's passing. He was so helpful to many, always upbeat and kind.

My condolences to his family and friends.

 

[TUGBrian]

very sad news and my thoughts go out to his family

 

[Dave*H]

Very sad. John's posts were always objective and thought out. He will be missed.

 

[Bill4728]

John joined us in the Fall of 2006 and posted over 2600 times in the next year and a half. He was involved in the TS bussiness in the area of timeshare closing as well as TS renting. He freely gave of his considerable knownledge.

Although I never met him we did write and I am going to miss him alot.

My thought and prayers go out to his family.

John, Thanks for everything
