John was getting up there but that's not what matters. He was a great
guy and will be missed by all who knew him.

John was someone that I think everyone looked up to, and admired.  He was very active in the community and is already sorely missed.  My sympothies to his family.

I am really sorry to hear that John has passed away. I met him only a couple of times and he was a very talented individual. My condolances go out to his family. He will be missed by all.

Farewell John.  You will be missed by the Amiga community.  Your efforts to keep the Amiga going after the demise of C= (AEMail comes to mind) were appreciated by all of us.

Say hello to Jay and Mitchie for us.

Regards,
ltstanfo

John Zacharias was honestly one of the most pleasant persons I've ever had the privilege of spending some time with and I truly feel for his families loss.
