With great sadness did I read this.
Conversed with John many times when he was first getting into the pistols, over the phone and at the tables. Always admired how he absorbed and shared knowledge and research. Once gave him a M1915 magazine at Tulsa for a pistol he bought, you'd have thought I'd given him a new truck. A number of Koch brother pistols moved into his collection.
Due to my own health and work, we dropped out of touch over the past few years. I regret that.
Rest in peace, John, eaven has gained a great collector.
