Thanks for posting - I think it would be nice if this site made it possible for a systematic way that current circumstances could be shared. It's sad that people just kind of disappear.

Ahh yes, bet he was a really nice guy, and the pics of all the food he ate, cooked, and of course he loved his little dog,

I too miss his posts, God bless him

the group loved GJ … he was so lovable of a great guy. It was agonizing to see how hard he worked fighting this stuff …. Nothing seemed to work very well for him towards the end , it was heart wrenching .

John was a consummate foodie and posted a lot of QOL food posts. His giant crab claws stick in my memory most….but there was so much.

It was so sad see him spiral down …and it seemed to happen quickly as well. GJ shared his fight with us publicly… this so the rest of us could see one example of a classy fighter handle his own passing.

The group was a better place because of Great John when he posted here. I miss him.

❤️❤️❤️

I remember the time John and his husband traveled from Florida to the Minnesota fair to taste the food they served.

Great John was the OG (Original Gangsta) of the QoL and Food porn.

Imma carry on his Food Porn legacy in His memory.

What a Mighty, Mighty Good Man.

Miss him so much :-(

Right On and we'll wake up everyday to a Chelsea Morning

"Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning

And the first thing that I saw

Was the sun through yellow curtain

And a rainbow on the wall

Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you

Crimson crystal beads to beckon

Oh, won't you stay, we'll put on the day

There's a sun show every second"

He was truly a Great man

Always optimistic and sentimental he was and always be loved

Characters I have met here are hero,s in every right

It breaks my heart when we lose one of our own

We are still here Farmhand

I know Greatjohn would want us to get on with it

Thanks for bringing this old post back. As I read this post and looked at Sparky my first thoughts were not of John but for Sparky.

As a dog lover who has three to take care of I need to fight because what would happen to them if I could not love, feed or take care of them.

As I read further I assumed that in his case, Sparky would be taken care of by his partner but for others that may not be the case.

in reply to Mgtd

One of his neighbors ended up taking Sparky.

Do you know how his partner is doing ? He was starting to have some health issues.

I know he was having some issues with dementia… But I have not heard how he is doing recently. Someone else on this forum will probably know

in reply to Bestdays

I haven't spoken with Richard in nearly a year. He seemed to be doing ok.
