Truly a sad day for me.

Like most of you I only knew John through here. But, he helped me several times with some panel projects I was doing, and was kind enough to give me several pointers. He was a major insparation for many of the panels I've done.

Good-bye John. Your kindness, and enthusiasim will not be forgotten.

May John's memory live in our hearts for all times.

Yes it will be a long and sad recovery time, he was always in a  Smiley 8) mood with everyone. It is sad to see him go. Might I suggest this topic be moved to the Cafe since people there will know him. After all, not everyone in 2002 knew him. May he rest in peace.

There have already been a couple of threads in the cafe about this Saratoga, look at the first page and you'll find the link for one of them.

Have just returned from vacation to find this bad news and had the chance to read thru the kind remarks and tributes.   I also received direct help and advice from the man I only knew as "tipster."      He sure knew his subject.

I thought the picture in a previous post of the jet breaking formation was very appropriate.

Condolences to those who knew him well and of course to any of his family who may be referred to these pages.

Well Ozzy, with all due respect, remove it from here then. Five people have sent me AIM IMs saying they wished that they didn't have to see it whenever they looked for something FS, and truthfully, I do not blame them. He was a good man, but there is a better place for this to be located. Sad

i think this is a good place for this, he put alot of time and effort into helping most of us with 2002 and his round the world trip was a nice addition to the forum

This was Tipster's home on SimV, and where his friend are. He gave so much of himself to this forum that anything about him will always be on topic, especially now.

Well it was only recently I had renewed interest in fs2002 and my first quest was to visit his website to see how his RTW trip was going and was very sad to hear the news. He also helped me out on several occassions earlier this year on the forums and inspired many, including myself to a RTW trip. I like to think he finished the journey before he died.  Sad

I also wondered if John had completed the trip. This has been on my mind for a while and I would think with the pressure he was under that given the time I don't think he completed it.
I also don't think that he would have included Antarctica in his travels as FS does not have a listing there.

You are all invited to share a leg of John's RTW by going to the RTW site and seeing where you can fit in.

I have flown the Baron(must have Johns' panel)SCIE/SCSE/SCDA/SLPL/SEMT/MNMG/Z21W/MMCU for a total of 26hrs. I'm in Mexico at the moment volunteers for a North America leg are most welcome.

Please go to Johns' site and register your interest.

Cheers,
Col.

All of John's commitments in America have been met. The Baron is tied down at KORS at the moment. Flying continues tomorrow north and on to the Aluetians before the weather closes out.

Cheers
