Second that. Hadn’t heard from him in years, and wondered about him from time to time.
A terrible tragedy. Godspeed.
Best, Ted

I didn't really even know the man and if you had never brought up his name, I wouldn't have ever given him a thought. I probably only spoke to him a few times on here. But still, for some reason, I am not just sad or unhappy. But really angry. What a tragedy.

I spoke with John on a few occasions a few years back and then lost contact. From what I gathered during telephone conversations John Meeker was truly a fine man. This is indeed a tragic loss. And, like Jimmy W, it not only makes me sad but really mad. RIP John and may God bless your family through this terrible loss.

Sad beyond belief. Random violence, which this seems to be, is simply out of control.
Fair winds and following seas John. Gods speed sir.

I remember John Meeker's (Marshgurl) posts here, but don't recall anything from him in years. I know he and I corresponded about something or other years ago, and I always thought his posts here were thoughtful and sincere. I'm sorry for his family's loss and offer my prayers and condolence....Geo

For a number of years I had a signature line here that is appropriate once again.
Vaya con Dios, John.

This is just awful. I can't imagine that this man was looking for any form of trouble. Yet another argument for concealed carry. It may seem trite here now, but an armed society is truly a polite society.
You can't carry an 870 with you everywhere (eh Ted?) but a dainty little airweight might have made a big difference here.
