I am also shocked and saddened. John gave me some advice through a personal message , which I really appreciated. He gave so much of himself and he will be missed here.
My thoughts and condolences are with his family.

...the bell tolls for thee...actually all of us...
Like many have said, when John posted advice, I listened. He always had wonderful insight and thoughtful responses. He was generous with his knowledge.
John posted this in memory of Ken. I offer it as my homage to him...
Never met him, never had phone conversation, but he was a friend...
John, hope you are having fun in a six star presidential suite
somewhere...

So sad
It was not long after I first joined TUG in 2007 that I had a long and pleasent conversation with John. He was kind and generous with his words and sort of welcomed me to the fold.
It's so sad to hear of his passing.
Rest in Peace My Friend

Farwell, John!
I was deeply saddened to see this thread. John, I enjoyed your posts and gained much knowledge through you. May you enjoy your eternal sunshine! My sympathy goes out to his family and friends, and all those who will miss him. He will be greatly missed.

My deepest sympathy goes out to John's family.
John was a very nice and generous man who was willing to give me some very valuable advise on how to handle a deal that went sour.
Thank you John, you will be truly missed.

I will be making a gift to my favorite charity for all the help and advise John has given me.
Also will be concentrating on doing more Random Acts of Kindness. It always feels so great to do those, and it helps others as well.
Lorelei - our deepest sympathy to you and your family. John has touched so many of us.

I did not know John very well. But I knew him as an ethical man with great integrity. He bought my Vail timeshare from me. I had posted it on ebay after Marriott had decided to dump it, so I listed in the auction those facts and that the new management company would be VRI.
When John bid (and won), he did not notice the section of the auction where I had explained the Marriott separation, and emailed me about it. I explained that I had detailed that on the auction page. I think that a lot of people would have tried to find some excuse to back out of the deal. John did not.
He went through with the deal on the terms that we had agreed, and I think that he later found out that he got a better timeshare than he thought, because my unit was the prototype for all of the upgrades, so he got a very nice unit.
Still, he went through with the deal before he knew that, and I will always remember his integrity in that situation. I also appreciated his thoughtful and insightful postings here. He will be missed.
My condolences to the family.

I am truly shocked by this.
Like many others, I had never met John in person but had "talked" to him via email. He was an amazingly nice and helpful guy. What a terrible loss, especially as he was so young!
I think it would be great to have a picture of John here, as an earlier poster suggested. Is anyone in contact with John's wife, who could ask her for a picture?
Also, it was mentioned on www.timeshareforums.com that if John' wife is not familiar with timeshares, the online timeshare community should give her advice on what to do with the timeshares John owned. (I seem to recall that he was downsizing, but still owned quite a few.) Perhaps Lorelei is a timeshare expert as well, but if not, we should definitely help her out with this.

I will ask Lorelei.
First Ken and now John. I cannot believe it. I always enjoyed reading his posts. He was so knowledgeable and he loved dogs. I remember that recent post very well because he cared.
My deepest condolences to Lorelei and his family for losing him.

I am so sorry to hear this. Although we never had the privilege of speaking, as a relative newcomer here I learnt so much from his posts and was so impressed at how he reached out to help so many people.
My condolences to his family,

Very sad news. I emailed and spoke with John a few months ago about questions I had about St. Thomas, USVI, and John was very helpful (with a great sense of humour). I appreciated the time he spent with someone he did not know. My condolences to Lorelei and the family.

My condolences go out to Lorelei and any other family members. Always here with his positive posts and always helpful- never expecting anything in return. The type of person we should all strive to be.
He was also special to me with his love of the USVI's, St. John in particular. That was something we shared. I thought of him yesterday as we were planning our next trip there for 2009, but had not been on to read the news.
John, you will be missed on TUG and by anyone and everyone you touched with your help and kindness.
