Really sad news Condolences to the family. At 68 he is gone too soon.

I want remember a game of his: The Campaign Series. It is in my top five computer wargames ever and gave me a lot of fun over many years.

RIP, John!

There will certainly be an appropriate time of mourning, and then we see how his company creatively carries on his legacy.

As Rickier65 says above, "He will surely be missed."

Yeah, no sad funeral smiley's, maybe just we drink to a Tiller and use this one?
