Thinking of John, I remembered a story he told of the San Diego Comic Con. It seems while walking about at the Con he saw Jonathan Frakes talking to a woman. He went up to Mr. Frakes and asked if he would mind having his picture taken together. Mr. Frakes said "sure" & John asked the woman if she would mind taking the picture. She did and after the picture was taken, Mr. Frakes said something to the effect that he was surprised that John didn't want the woman in the picture too. As the two of the walked away, John realized that the woman was Marina Sirtis.

I was floored when I saw heard the news on Facebook and was hoping I simply misread it. Like many others here I mainly knew him online but had the privilege of meeting him at our big get together in at SDCC'08. He was a really nice guy and a pleasure to know. He sounded so happy lately online enjoying being married and looking forward to the birth his daughter. Rest in peace man.

This is terrible! He just got married and his sweet, beautiful bride is pregnant! I met John & Addie last year and we clicked instantly. He was a big, laid back, too-smart-for-his-own-good, teddy bear of a man. He was witty & friendly & treated me like an old friend, even though we just met. He put up with my flaming, multiple hugs & kisses, and ever since, he's been my FB super-friend; always sending me private messages & pokes, and always posting stuff I might find of interest on my wall. I'm too shocked to even process this. Is existence really this random? Are we really this unimportant in the grand scheme of things? Why is Addie-this wonderful person-being punished this way?? I'm so angry & lost right now, I can't scream loud enough!! We are nothing in the creator's eyes. NOTHING!!!!

KC, John had posted less in recent years than he used to, but he would still post occasionally.

Absolutely. That's exactly what I thought when I heard about this last night.
Kent and I were waiting in the lobby of the NYC Comic Con, waiting to meet some other LWers to go out to dinner. As we stood there chatting, suddenly, this fellow I had never seen before started approaching me and, before even saying who he was, just outstretched his arms and hugged me.
"Oh, OK, Hi there".
That's making me smile even as I type it.
