I never met your father John, but through AMWX I had the pleasure of knowing him. A Southern gentleman for sure. He will be greatly missed.

HA!  He was born in Hoboken. If he heard you call him a Southern Gentleman he would have been quite amused.

Thanks, everyone. There are three options we have chosen for memorials other than flowers.

 

Leukemia and Lymphoma Society - www.lls.org

The Hospital at Home Program c/o Atrium Health Foundation
7800 Providence Rd. Suite 208, Charlotte, NC 28226
 
Or your local NPR station that plays classical or jazz music. 

As my Dad would probably point out, all three of these things - cancer research, healthcare coverage for average people of limited means, and the arts and public broadcasting are under assault from some of those bullies that Pop so detested. So your support of any of them would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, we'll run with this in lieu of flowers!   Thanks John.

You and your family are in my thoughts. LLS is a great organization.

My condolences to you and your family. I also have a message from a former mod from the Lakes/Ohio Valley forum.

So sorry to hear the news of jburns' passing.  He was a good poster, but seemingly an even better person.  It was a pleasure being on the staff with him for a number of years.  From beginning to end, he was never anything but kind to me in our public and private interactions.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time He will be missed by many people!  Though he is gone, he will never be forgotten.  May he rest in peace.
