That's very sad news. Cancer is a horrible way to go. I really hope he didn't suffer and lets be thankful that he's at peace now.
I never met him personally but he seemed like a great guy. Whenever I would E-mail him with a question he would always E-Mail me back quickly and was very cordial and nice with his responses.
He was a great contributor to
G-Fan as well. His articles (especially the
Godzilla in America articles) were great reads. And when he left, G-Fan has never been the same.
In a fandom full of pricks and jerks, it's sad to see one of the "good guys" leave us.
RIP John
