doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion Silent Doubles - In Memorium John Mann has passed away...

I have missed John here since he slowed down on making posts a few years ago. Now unfortunately he will be missing for good.

When I first found this site several years ago. John was a frequent poster that really helped me get hooked on checking-in here everyday. I had the great pleasure of visiting with him on the phone one time when I bought a Fox from him that he advertized for sale here. That fox is still sitting in the safe and I'll make sure it goes hunting this fall in his memory.

John I say thanks to you! You will be missed by many, myself included!!

Oh, that is tough news to hear. Around the middle of the last decade for a couple years running strong Mr John Mann taught, intelligently commented and generally enlivened this board so much visiting here was an exercise in joy. Along with Dr Oscar Gaddy and Bill Wise doublegunshop.com was THE place for a first-rate education on doubleguns. Sad to see men of this ilk pass away, leaving tremendous holes in the atmosphere of civility in their wake. Godspeed, John.

Goodbye, John, Goodbye.

Sad news. He was a true treasure and he added a lot to the board when he was active. He will be missed and I will say a prayer for him.

We are getting a heck of a list great people who are no longer with us. His name will be added to my personal list of those who we have lost that I will miss. I am sure you have your own list. Mine includes Bill Wise, Oscar, Klunkmiester and now John.

John was kind, thoughtful and generous. A rare man. He will be missed.

As the years pass,we lose so many of the "Good-Ones".Its getting harder to stand at the work-bench and not think of all the "Missing in Action"....John Mann.."One of the Old School" I really enjoyed his Posts over the years. Condolences from the "Dirty Hands Brigade".....Trevallion.
