Farewell John.

I suppose I'll never stop kicking myself for not studying with John when I had the chance last year (my first PT...).
R.I.P.

I understand that it was congestive heart failure brought on by his long term adult-onset diabetes. Another man done gone.

John Cephas' passing made the top of the hour NPR news this morning, complete with audio clip.

Just saw the news and am very sad to hear this news. I will miss him dearly, such a gentleman in the truest sense. Every year at P.T. I made a point to go to at least one of his classes, just to see his smiling face and listen to his stories... I am glad to have known him.

Terribly sad! I just cried out loud in the little public library in my old home town when I read Peter's first post.

Playin' with all the greats now, John!

I STILL think that this should be in the main forum... I only found this thread when my first posting went missing and, after much digging, FINALLY found it here! Let's not be selfish!!

Well, um, I agree actually. Apart from the slight motion sickness I experience as posts are moved around while I'm posting... Cephas is laughing at us, somewhere.

Gary, those are truly great photos, especially the hat salute.

[oddenda]

Thank you - all is forgiven! Vale Cephas.
