I’ve only just come across this and it’s really sad news. I always thought highly of John as he had plenty of wisdom and was a decent down to earth bloke. From memory, he’d spent many years in the QLD fire service and retired.
John originally used his real name then changed it to MO quite a few years back and I’m sure that he was on the old forum as well.
Like most people here, I’d never met him but shared many PMs over the years.
I only have one picture of John and must apologise for the size. There was a thread about six years ago where many of us posted pictures of ourselves. John’s pic was quite large and I resized it, along with a picture of “Pinky” the promoter and had a laugh that they’d never been seen at the same place together.
I genuinely believe that the forum is only as good as the people who contribute and John was one of those people who made the forum a great place.
RIP John, you will be missed.
My sincere condolences to Heather and all of John’s extended family.
