I received a pm from a member here notifying me of the loss of one our most well-known and beloved members.

As many are aware, John aka jswgpb also known to many as The Lion, had been battling liver cancer, and sadly he has now passed away. His obituary has some brief details of his life beyond Caedes. There is a guestbook here where messages can be left.

His wonderful fractal artwork and lively warmth and humor combined to touch many people here and he will be missed.
