My good friend and Army buddy, GGJohn, has passed from cancer.

I posted this in the General Discussion forum but I thought I would post this here also.
He was a prolific poster here on DU until the cancer just became too much for him.

He was my good friend and comrade in arms and will be missed.
RIP John.
