Just saw this in another AR forum. This is horrible news.

RIP John

I'm simply sick about that. I've talked to him on the phone and he was a hoot.

My recent purchase of a Noveske Thunder Ranch Edition was mostly because I respected John as a guy's guy and I believed that he built what is perhaps today's finest AR.

What a darned shame.

I will pray for John and the family he left behind. Count on it.

Blesssings,

Steve

WOW what terribly sad news to come home to! I only had the privilege of visiting with him a couple times, and he struck me as the kind of guy we'd all want in a friend or neighbor. We all lost a good man with John.

Just hearing about this now. I've been using his stuff for several years now.

A real pity.

RIP John.
