To the friends of John Slate

I did not know him..I am new to the forum…but my prayers tonight are with his family during this sad time.
Cecil

I can’t believe it. John was a familiar presence on this forum. How terrible.

Rest In Peace.

Amen. Rest in peace John and peace and comfort to his family. I’m praying too. 🙁

Sad. My sympathy to you both.

My condolences to his family.

Very sad news. My thoughts are with his family.

Bob

Shocking News.

We are grateful that you let us know here. John will be missed by us all, and his family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Chris

This is sad news.

My condoleances to his family and friands.

To the friends of John Slate I trust he touched some of you as well.

Oh, yes indeed. Such sad news. This is so hard to believe. He was much too young.

John was also at one time a member of the Jubilee Forums. He was very knowledgeable and had a keen ability to express himself well.

Beyond that, John was an exceedingly skilled fine artist – a fact which many members of this forum may not be aware.

His focus and clarity of expression is as evident in his work with paint and brush as it was with words. Below are some of his paintings that he shared with us. While I know this is "off topic", and not typically the type of thing that is posted in this forum, I believe he would be pleased to have them shared here as well.

I would like to express my thanks to the author of this sad message. It was so kind and thoughtful for you to let us all know. And yes, John will be missed by many. He had friends all round the world. Condolences from us all.
