I was so sad to hear this I guess like you I got a birthday notification and was very surprised to find out he had passed some months ago I had wondered why his Facebook posts had stopped I guess we now know. We shared an interest in Nixie clocks and 3d printing but had not met in years. He will be missed.

yes, that's twice recently i've received Facebook birthday notifications and been grateful that i've taken my own advice to check 'walls' before wishing 'happy birthday'! John's interests were far and wide -- we had a common fascination with jukeboxes, though typically he took it far further than i did
