Just heard today that My Dear Friend John [AKA The Lion} has passed away in November. He is sadly missed by me as I know a lot of other members here. He was a great mentor to me learning apophysis and wanted so much to do the great artwork that he was accomplishing with this program.I could PM him anytime with questions and he would tell me exactly what I wanted to know to get results. I never got to meet him face to face but he always made me feel as close as family and e-mailed me lots of jokes to laugh at and enjoy. You touched my life John and I am Grateful Your Good Friend, Doug

So, so sorry to hear of John...I knew he had been ill for some time, but he was always there for a few jokes and a chat!...

He will be sadly missed by all on Caedes, and more so, by me!

Thank you for this great tribute to him Doug....It says it all!!

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
