Hi Pete, He was a True friend to all and was liked and loved by all. It was a sudden shock. He had disappeared off poetry soup suddenly and then about 2 months later John Hamilton in his Blog, told us of his passing - he was about 60 years of age. Thanks for your comment Pete , very sweet of you. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Sandra, so wonderful to see your comment,where have you been my dear friend. It was horrible to find out, I missed him and many I asked but no one knew anything, and then I read John Hamilton's blog where he told us all. A very important, loving poet is now missing from our poetry link. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Although I had little interaction with him, it's clear that he was popular among Soupers. It's like losing a family member when a dear friend dies. I'm sorry for your loss and congratulate you on writing such a beautiful tribute to John. Hugs, Carolyn

I know Jan, I was devastated on reading John's blog but I understand that he was ill for some time. I noticed his poems getting fewer and fewer until they, stopped I asked so many people if they knew anything and then I read John Hamilton's Blog, really tragic that we have lost him. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

He certainly will Vijay, I have the poem I wrote(the super hero poem) I asked his permission if I could use him and his name but called him Wingster, so from then on he said Jennster comics have taken over Marvel comics. He will be missed by all. Hugs and blessings Jennifer.
