Thank you all for your kind comments yesterday. It was touching to know that many of you also followed John's blog, and enjoyed his writing as much as I did.
Larry, Les, and John in Cambridge, England, 2013. John had a story, fact or memory of everything we saw, wherever we went. Les knew all the good pubs!
Les is not able to access John's blog yet. John had intended to write a farewell post and to give Les the password, but time ran out too quickly. Les will be looking for the password so that he can moderate and publish any comments, and perhaps write a short post. If any of you would like to reach out to Les, please email me and I will send you his contact information.
Larry and I hope to get over there for a visit this year, depending on the political fallout as far as costs, and on my knee improving a bit more.
Here are some of my favorite posts from John's blog. I have to admit, it wasn't easy to pick just these ten; there are just so many excellent, funny, nostalgic, and informative posts to choose from.
This just barely touches the many topics John covered. Just imagine all he might have written had he lived. Ah me.
Rest in peace, dear Cousin.
I hope John's pages will continue to be available.... his superb photographs of the countryside and his entertaining commentary are well worth many visits. A gentle man indeed.
ReplyDeleteIs Les trying on John's computer rather than trying form his own? Very often the passwords have been stored somehow. Maybe once the email is entered, the pw would just pop up. It often works for me that way. Of course, I don't know if that is possible in this case.
ReplyDelete...I wish that I had been aware of John and his blog.
ReplyDeleteHopefully John's writing will survive and you may revel in reading it as the rest of us did
DeleteHe will be sorely missed. What a nice tribute he wrote to his Mom, Flo.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware of his blog, but thank you for these links as I will read them now.
ReplyDeleteI'm saddened to read of John's death. I didn't know that you were related and I'm glad that you were able to meet each other in person. I do hope that his gentle and informative blog, with it's lovely photos will remain available to all.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about John. I hope Les is able to get into the blog.
ReplyDeleteIt´s really a great blog with wonderful pics! Also good you plan to visit.
ReplyDeleteI was not familiar with John's blog and checked out some of the posts you highlighted. What beautiful photos he shared.
