WoodshopDemos founder passed away

I haven't logged in the www.woodshopdemos.com site in awhile but
I did tonight and found the following:

"March 1, 2010---Sadly, John Lucas, my husband and author of
woodshopdemos.com,
passed away on February 22, 2010. John truly enjoyed his work on the
website and
the many E-mails he received from the readers of the site. To honor
John's memory,
I will maintain the current website for the immediate future. I will
continue to sell the
woodshopdemos. PDF-DVD (see information below) until the original
supply is
exhausted. My thanks to all of you that have sent your condolences to
me. John w
as a wonderful man and a great teacher. He will be missed by all of
us. ~Sandra Lucas~ "

He did a lot of nice tutorials and reviews. Will miss him for all
of that. Wish I had met him personally.

He was one of the good guys. His website was a model of simplicity. He just
used still photos and did a much better job communicating than many folks do
with videos. He will be missed.

Rest in peace John Lucas.

Sad to hear this news. Fortunately I recently received his CD that he was
offering with details the web site left out.

I remember writing him with some questions on something, years back
when I was first getting my shop set up. Can't remember what it was
now, just my impressions of John. He replied with some info and some
questions and we kept up a little conversation for a couple weeks till
I got whatever it was figured out and let him know. It was
interesting, I learned stuff, and he was pretty darn nice about it. He
completely refuted the notion that people over fifty couldn't program
a VCR, let alone run a navigable and useful website. The guy knew what
he was doin'.
