As we approach the first anniversary of John’s untimely death given his age it bears witness that no blog has replaced what John was accomplishing. I am wrong in the conclusion blame my ignorance but would like to know of worth replacements.
Hope the family is doing well in surmounting their great loss.

I usually had some quick response to John’s posts, but this one is leaving my mind blank.

My condolences goes out to his family and loved ones.

I talked about John’s work many times at Ojai Valley CERT meetings, and was hopeful of our working relationship of offering the message of Emergency Preparedness to the present consciousness of everyone.

I was honored to know a man who really showed up in life in a big way.

This was a sentence from his last email to me — “I included you in this post about FEMA Head Fugate and CERT”. This is classic John — getting the word out, making connections, and not needing credit for anything.

Peace.

I knew John only through his blog. His focus was individual and family preparedness which is now newly in focus as an important area of concern. Hoping someone picks up the blog.

I am so very very sorry for his wife and daughters and family and close friends. This was a life truly rich in all its important elements.

The readers of his blog and me will miss his amazing grasp of all important issues that never will disappear but only can be dealt with by utilizing the same effort and skills John tried to and did bring to the subject. He was an amazing person and while never asking for it always appreciated his thanks for tidbits of EP items sent to him by me. He was important to me and I know important to all who knew him. Simply an amazing and wonderful person and thanks to the family for letting us share some time with him through the wonderful blogging he conducted. I am sure unknown people have had lives spared because of the knowledge he shared with all of US.

He’ll certainly be missed … best way to remember him is to keep holding those in power, and really, all of us, to account on emergency preparedness.
