Gee, that's terrible.
How old was he?
It's not the question, that is the problem, it is the problem, that is the question.

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.
