Thanks for the link to the pics. Scarcely a visit to VRDR goes by and I don't remember BJ.
-
Thanks Steve.
I had no idea why I had the urge to click my V Dr bookmark tonight (first time in months). Now I know. I think someone else was guiding my hand.
-
Good to see you smurfy...I think BJ's up there toasting to the old gang.
-
You're missed more than you know, John!
-
BJ, you were a pal and an inspiration. Miss ya, bud!

BJ, if you are where I hope you are, are you still keeping my reservation open for another 20 years or ........ ??
Miss ya fella :D
PS Thanks for the reminder Steve----and the pics.

Big John was a true gentleman, and is sorely missed around these parts. R.I.P. big guy.
-
I think John would be very happy seeing the site still online and as good as it was when he left us :(
I didnt get to know John,but thanx to a friend,i was able to come here and see what a good site he had created :)
God bless you all :)
-
When I thought one year that I would have a TV dinner for thanksgiving, (since my family goes out of town) that’s when my phone rang and Big John invited me over for a great dinner. That was John, always thinking of others.
R.I.P. B. J.
Kevin, the God Monster!

RIP , BJ
As noted, you are missed.
-
BJ us probably up there with a cigar in his mouth, looking at us and smiling. He left a legacy!
-
Legacy is very correct. BJ was a mentor to me and is missed more than I can say.
All the best my Friend! :)

I was pretty active in this forum several years ago and had a little bit of off forum email and messenger contact with Big John at that time but I drifted away from the forum well before we lost him and I learnt of it belatedly. But he left a very positive impression on me and I still haven't had the heart to remove his name from my email or messenger contacts list. I guess his details will stay there to make me think of him from time to time and bring a smile to my face.
-
I miss ya too. My singing buddy. Great guy.

Remembering BIG JOHN
Man, hard to believe it's been a year already.
Aussiblue, that's pretty much my story as well.
And for quite a few others I remember from the good old days.
I still got most of the old "Ship thread" squirreled away.
Probably some good quotes from BJ in there.
Mike.
-
Well John, its been another year. Gone but not forgotten;)
-
He'll never be forgotten as long as we're around.
-
Another year. Hard to believe.
I'm glad I/we see him around here a lot in many of stickies and posts he made.
-
I can't believe another year has gone by.
He will never really be gone though he lives on in our hearts forever
((((John)))) :)
-
Already, another year. John and we all still think about ya.....
-
As I said in my original post. BJ was my mentor and will always be in my thoughts. R.I.P. Big Guy...

Thanks everyone for you're remembering Big John. I heard something today, that jives, with how I'm feeling. Kim Goldman, was a guest on
Oprah; with her father Fred. Kim Goldman said it, in ref: to the the death of her brother (Ron Goldman). She and her father: were sharing their feelings about "closure". Kim stated: (or in words to the effect) that, "There is no such thing as "closure", it becomes a part of your life." SW

SW--I don't think you really want CLOSURE in it's truest sense. I feel that way about my seven losses of siblings plus my parents. Often times it is those memories that make us go on.
