We have lost a Great Friend of this Forum

With great pain and sorrow I have to announce that I was informed of the death of one of our long time members.

John Davis,known here as j-d has passed away.

I considered him a good friend even though I have never met him,we exchanged a lot of information over the years.

He will be greatly missed by me and I am sure many others,his insightful and fact filled posts helped me with the many aspects of owning and maintaining a RV and the joy of this lifestyle, I am sure they had helped many others.

I will be sending a link to this post to his wife Judy.

Rest In Peace My Good Friend
Class C

    Sorry to hear about the passing of JD, condolences to the family.
    JD was a great technical resource for all aspects of Class Cs and a role model for taking on the big projects.
    I particularly liked his project to upgrade his Class C’s front end to the latest components using a front-end takeoff from a 4x4 conversion.

    Sad to hear of his passing. I've been off for at least a year and haring this first thing is eye-opening. We only have so much time. Spending it in ways we love and helping others along the way is just about the best gift we have. Thanks to j-d and his help over the years. RIP

    I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He was definitely one of the cornerstones of knowledge on these forums. He will be missed.

    I, too, enjoyed reading his signature and often got a chuckle from it no matter how many times I read it.

    My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

    Wow - very sad to hear this ....

    JD was an excellent guy. Not only in his technical knowledge and willingness to share with all, but also his demeanor on this discussion forum. I will miss him. Makes me wonder about all you folks I communicate with on the forums. Is it time to reach out (I hate that term ) and retire and go to travel out to meet some of you? Know one here is getting any younger.

    Again - Thank you JD

    I remember j-d's signature ... which was a classic I'll never forget: "If God's Your Co-Pilot Move Over".

    I assume his life was centered around that.

    Over my years here I have learned so much from people like j-d and I'm forever thankful. People like him are the reason I'm here. He made this a very comfortable place to be. Rest in peace my friend, you will be missed until we are brought back together again.
